Awareness of the various types of assessments in order to understand what a student knows, will learn, and has learned from a lesson(s) so there are assessments to fit what knowledge has been gained.
I would like to incorporate the use of whichever technology the student prefers to present their term project. We traditionally tell them it needs to be a PowerPoint presentation. I agree that if it is something they are familiar with and comfortable with, then the presentation could potentially have a better outcome. Whether that be presentation boards, video presentations, google slides, or other presentation platforms.
I really took a lot away from the activity of The Stool and the Integrity Planner; as I take more ownership of monitoring online courses/LMS activity/course design, I think these tools and activities will be great additions to help me guide my faculty toward more effective assessment opportunities and increased student engagement/satisfaction in general with online courses.
Loved The Stool activity and will implement in my classroom.
Thank you for the suggestions on the Lockdown Browers, the QueText and the Proctor U. I will look into them and see how I can incorporate them or something like them.
Great suggestions throughout.
Recognize the assessment opportunities, realize the associated challenges, have resources outlined and available to provide students for when challenges present to overcome them, and collect additional tips.
Develop new scenario-based questions or replace the definition-style type of questions with these higher-order thinking scenario questions. Scenario-based questions also allows students to see the connection to the objectives and topics covered to the job and career they wish to be in upon graduation.
Hello Team,
What I learned is how I can make exams more real life scenarios rather than just multiple choice which might enhance students to assess the actual situation on the project.
Developing online assessment tools may be time consuming at first , but for long-run it will remain as a good resource to measure the progress.
It was great course to distinguish between the three strategies in online assessments, as usually we focus on the formative and summative assessments, so its very helpful to understand the value of diagnostic exam as well.
Great explanation of online assessment by "stool concept" and feedback importance. Very useful handouts for instructors; notes, self assessments and readiness.
incorporating assessments can be extremely helpful
Hi,
I learned that for the assessment process to be effective, planning is required, identification of competencies, design of instruments and design de integrity rules and tools. I like the pdf that this module included.
To use the documents to keep a course organized and easy to check if it aligns with course objectives and outcomes. Review multiple choice tests to make sure they align and convert to critical thinking when possible,
I learned to look at my course assessments as a three-legged stool: before , during and after. It is very helpful to view it this way because it gives me structure so I can remember to include each part of my course equally. I have already come across so many issues that are discussed in this course as I teach synchronously and asynchronously within the same course. Our faculty realized early on that we needed ways to curb possible cheating online and this course has good suggestions some of which we already implemented before.
We have also already had the issue of students having trouble in the way they are sending student-made videos/voice recordings. Unfortuantely, whether they have Apple or not we have to have them figure out a way to send them as an MP4 or our LMS doesn't recognize it. Students are resourceful and all 32 figured a way to do that so I didn't have anymore trouble.
Very helpful course.
Assessments are a great tool not only to test the student but also the program/activity/class.
Realizing the challenges that are faced with academics and how to fit them more for students with less error.
Pre-testing is great. It gives instructors a look at where student knowledge is at and it gives students a glimpse into what to expect.
I really like the suggestion for scenario based questions. This gives us a diferent way to frame multiple choice test questions and requires students to apply what they have learned to their lives.
In thos course I reviewd online assessment. I learnd some new tools for plagiarism, and about SBQ.
In this module, I have learned that A staple in most of course assessments in the summative multiple-choice test. When offering these types of tests online, it opens the door for students to possibly not fully learn the material or to, perhaps, seek out academically dishonest ways to complete the assessment. In addition to implementing online settings, an instructor can develop new scenario-based questions or replace the definition-style type of questions with these higher-order thinking scenario questions. Scenario-based questions also allows students to see the connection to the objectives and topics covered to the job and career they wish to be in upon graduation.
