Open-resource assessments support a learner-centered environment that reduces test taking anxiety and increases student satisfaction. This presentation will highlight the utility of open-book and open-web assessments as innovative learning tools in synchronous, hybrid and asynchronous course modalities as they allow students to personalize their learning experience in tandem with instructor-led activities. Results from student cohort performance in focal and co-requisite courses will be presented, as well as flexible strategies for mitigating grade inflation. These methodologies can be applied to nursing and non-nursing disciplines with equal success.
