From grade to value: assessment at the service of the learner
If we shift some of the responsibility for assessment onto the learner, we achieve a dual objective: making assessment a learning process and developing the learner's critical judgment.

Have you clearly defined your learning objective? But you're not sure which teaching technique is best for you? No more headaches!
Here's an easy-to-use tool from Olivier Legrand. This mindmap, simply entitled "Pedagogical techniques for training and teaching", is a well-designed support that visualizes some twenty pedagogical techniques. Each technique is described in terms of its benefits for the learner, its objective and the conditions for its implementation.
Here are a few techniques, some of which have sometimes been overlooked, despite their pedagogical value, and others that you should discover. Don't forget that these techniques can be combined: your training program will be all the richer for it.
The strength of this mindmap lies in its ability to quickly visualize teaching techniques. The teacher can then easily combine several of them to create a training program adapted to a given context and pedagogical objectives. It's worth pointing out that they can also be mixed: you can then create your own techniques. For example: you want to make your students aware of the difficulties of project management? Try mixing object manipulation with project management, a technique that has been tried and tested for many years in management and marketing.
Finally, if you'd like to have a synthetic document, this mindmap can be supplemented by the digital tools you feel are particularly well-suited to these techniques. Useful and smart!
