Hi,

I consider that the diagnostic assessment is very important to design a self-assessment by pre-test and post-test and 1-2-3-list. It takes more time, the instructor continually develops assessment and evaluate the students. Is the best tool to identify learning level.

Hi,

I agree with the advantages and disadvantages of online assessment that this material presents: instructors can test any time and in any place, administration of tests is simplified, test questions can be randomized, objective tests can be automatically graded, and evaluation and analysis of student data are made easier. Online assessment is important because students have access from any device and time. I practice collecting feedback to identify if they understood the material.

Examining the instructional strategies to work to integrate these components will help develop a learning community and providing feedback is the most important tool to quantify how they learn. A Code of Conduct should be available.

The instructor will share some suggestions to the students about efficient communication in online courses. The instructor should: personalize the environment, encourage introductions, provide timely feedback, model correct grammar, spelling, appropriate writing style, be visible online, establish clear guidelines for participation.

To maintain effective communication, it is necessary to define the means of communication and the tools available and above all the agreement between the students and the teacher. Establish clear guidelines.

It is interesting to measure the participation of the students, how frequent is the communication in the different means that have been agreed for communication: emails, wiki, blogs, forum. Observe that active communication between: I2S, S2I, S2S.

To maintain effective communication, it is necessary to define the means of communication and the tools available and above all the agreement between the students and the teacher. Establish clear guidelines.

The rubric follows the development guidelines, establishes the difference between the levels of work. In addition, it will be reliable and valid rubrics will enhance the learning environment.
