I was able to reflect on the fact that my sample lesson plan includes diagnostic assessments, formative assessments, and summative assessments. This was reassuring. I feel that this video provided the different options for each type of assessment for future reference when updating lesson plans.
All the topics given in this lesson are very interesting . The most that stood out to me the most were the challenges and how to over come them. 1st is technology as many students have issues with up to date computers or laptops and issues with wifi. Also, cheating and plagarism. I like the methods that were suggested by using proctor tools like locking browsers to prevent right clicks and search on google and having them timed and shuffling exams.
By taking the time to periodically and methodically review online assessment questions, instructors can design scenarios and case studies that help the students relate the content to real-world situations, therefore making the learning experience meaningful to them.
Great idea on calibration of faculty!
I had never really considered the utility of "before" assessments such as surveys or ungraded quizzes.
Doing assessments before, during and after help evaluate the course structure. Adding scenarios can definitely individualize the assessments and assist with understanding the student's learning style
I have learned the importance of online assessment - before, during and after - classes. Also I find really interesting how to avoid students cheating using technology and managing questions applying codes and variations. And not less important, tips to ask questions on scenarios.
Try my best to engage students in their learning by pointing out the importance of the real field!
I have learned different ways in which to assess a student's learning. The before, during. and after lesson assessments can be an effective way to reiterate information. I really like the preassessment which will tell me a student's knowledge on the subject before we even get into it. It's also important to understand each student's retention and ways of learning. This will help me to meet a student halfway and go back through things that certain students may still not be grasping. I also want to build on more critical thinking questions in my online quizzes rather than just multiple choice. I want to make my feedback to students more personal within canvas by utilizing the voice or video feedback features. I also want to use rubrics for assignments as it does take away from any bias, giving a set standard for assignments and point breakdown.
Being a specialty instructor, to try to be a role model and to bring all the possible materials from our personal experience on the table, to try to make the students feel that they are the most important part of the instructor's job and that they can make it to their goal if they set up their plan.
I learned by incorporating the "before, during and after" assessments that we can meet students where they are at. Feedback is important to allow students the ability to see what they learned. Asking the right questions to foster critical thinking skills and cooperative learning. Realizing the technological challenges students face which may impede their learning process. To overcome any challenges, it is essential to adapt to their environment and partner with the students to help meet their needs. Helping to design a course with questions and scenarios to enhance the critical thinking processes to implement their learning growth.
The information that I have obtained from this is how to be open, responsive in not only a positive but a personal matter with the students, as well as other peers. Being in the students' seat has taught me to put myself in their shoes. One of the many tools that I will be implementing for my class will be my feedback, to checkpoint the learning of the students growth, the pre assessments, and the rewrite of questions as the scenarios. There are many more little details but to list them all I will be here all day.
I've learned different ways of assessing student's knowledge throughout an entire course. It's important to get to know your students to properly "meet them where they're at" from the beginning of each course. "The stool" is a good roadmap to assess the topics covered in each lecture. Implementing scenarios is crucial to develop critical thinking, and therefore master the understanding of the course/lecture objective. There are several tools at an instructor's disposal, but it is important to be flexible to be able to address each student's needs.

using all the possible /available recourses to make the best out of yourself.
I really enjoyed learning about the "thee legged stool metaphor". This can ensure that the student effectively learns. I will apply these tips.
It is imperative to get your students to interact in an online environment. All to often, there are students who feel you are not talking to them. By creating scenario questions whereby everyone can participate you will encourage those who feel left out.
In this topic, we have seen the different assessment opportunities such as diagnostic, formative, and summative. It is also important to keep in mind that an online assessment differs from a face-to-face assessment because the learning environment changes depending on the technology. I believe that assessments should be challenging and motivating and that what motivates a student the most is to be able to test their creativity in real-life situations, where they can develop real competencies and provide solutions to real problems through integrative projects.
En este módulo aprendí a diseñar evaluaciones que se alineen con los objetivos de aprendizaje y a proporcionar retroalimentación significativa a los estudiantes. Planeo aplicar estos conocimientos, creando nuevos métodos de evaluación, incorporar preguntas basadas en escenarios para fomentar el pensamiento crítico y garantizar que las evaluaciones sean justas y accesibles para todos los estudiantes. Mi objetivo como docente será promover la autodirección y el aprendizaje significativo.
