Here's an image adapted from Criteria Distinguishing Different Kinds of Assignments by David Wiley & John Hilton and is licensed under CC BY 4.0 It makes clear the differences between a lot of typical assignments (disposable) and the more resistant assignments we hope to make (renewable). [24/x]🧪🎢

A 4x4 table showing green check marks and red x marks. The first column title is "Student creates an artifact". Green check marks indicate that that is indicative of Disposable assignments, Authentic assignments, Constructionist assignments, and Renewable assignments. The second column title reads "Artifact has value beyond supporting creator's learning". There is a red x indicating that that is not a property of disposable assignments, but green check marks indicate that it is a hallmark of authentic, constructionist, and renewable assignments. The third column title reads "Artifact is made public". This is not an attribute of Disposable or authentic assignments, but is an attribute of constructionist and renewable assignments. The last column reads "Artifact is openly-licensed". This is only an attribute of renewable assignments.
