The idea of scenario-based questions is a great idea.  This demands higher level learning and comprehension to be able to interpret the scenario and understand how to answer the question.

I learned that sometimes is not good to use rubrics.

I learned to establish differences between assessment and evaluation.

I learned that to select the appropriate technological tool for student evaluation, we must take into account the rubric of a particular topic, examine whether the chosen tool meets the established objectives and if not, try another tool, and before doing so, take into account the feedback provided by the students.

I actually copied this and put it on a sticky note, as I find it so important: 

The evaluation process for an online course should include the following steps:

Develop an overall evaluation strategy that helps the instructor plan how and when to evaluate the effectiveness of the instruction.
Develop a formative evaluation strategy that can be used to revise instruction as the course is being developed and implemented.
Develop a summative evaluation strategy that is conducted after instruction is completed and provides information for course revision and future planning.
Collect data from students using both quantitative and qualitative methods.… >>>

I learned that objective assessments can be summarive or formative.

New learning for me was the three types of diagnostic assessment, 1) pre-test, 2) muddiest point, and 3) the 1-2-3 list.

I appreciate the discussion about the pros and cons for each type of technology tool. 

Potential benefits are provided by value-added assessment over other methods of analyzing student scores include focus, fair comparison, accountability, and diagnostics. These all assist in investigating students' growth in learning by comparing students' current level of learning to their own past learning.

Rubrics should be used in the assessment process because many experts believe that rubrics improve students' end products and therefore increase learning. When students receive rubrics prior to the assignment/project, they understand how they will be evaluated and can prepare accordingly.

The difference between validity and reliability. Validity is more important. Validity ensures a test measures what it is intended to measure. Validity is essential. It is more crucial than the reliability. Also, if a test is valid, it is almost always reliable.
