ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to design and apply strategies for renewable assessment in a hybrid environment. Open educational practices and renewable assessment are important pillars for future educational development. They provide a more open, inclusive, innovative and sustainable education model in the context of globalized, networked and complex and diverse societies. The study, based on the research base of the present literature, designed teaching strategies for renewable assessment that included the principles of collaboration and exchange of information, continuous adaptation of key terms and objectives, sharing of academic outputs, collaborative evaluation and encouragement of innovation. After analyzing the study, it was found that the introduction of renewable assessment mechanisms in a blended learning environment had a positive impact on the evaluation of student work. The renewable assessment strategy was optimized through an iterative process of three rounds of action research, and the impact effects of the renewable assessment teaching strategy were examined in terms of students' willingness to evaluate and revise, renewable learning motivation and learning performance. The study showed that students made significant gains in general competence, but the number of students in the excellent rating was relatively stable, indicating that top students' performance is difficult to significantly improve in the short term. Therefore, these aspects should be considered more carefully in future instructional design and assessment.
