The module does a good job identifying and describing evaluation and assessment categories and strategies - including the use of digital and online tools. 

Making a good rubric can make all of the difference in the success of my students on some of these assignments. The biggest challenge is getting students to utilize the references provided to them. I try to make the rubric so that if used correctly, the student cannot fail. There are always those that choose not to follow or use the rubric.

Comment on Angel Martinez's- Much of this information seems straight forward, however there are people that would stiil not feel confuden                                     

Asking for student feedback on the chosen assessment tools is a very important component to successful evaluation of a course. 

Validity and reliability are both crucial when creating assessments. 

This was helpful to take a closer look at different assessment methods.

Its important to do your research in using an appropriate assessment tool so that students have the adequate feedback that they need.

The topic of 'Effective Online Assessment' has really expanded my understanding, especially about the importance of using different types of assessments to support online learning. I've learned how diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments can help organize learning, and I plan to include scenario-based questions and voice feedback to make assessments more personal. I also think using proctoring tools and varying questions is essential to ensure academic integrity.

I am finding that while this course tries to differentiate assessment from evaluation, it often uses the two terms to mean the same thing. I am also frustrated by the use of the word data as a singular form. The word data is the plural form of datum, i.e. data are, not data is. The author of this course should know this, or at least I hope will consider revising.

The Blooms Revised Taxonomy was new to me and I plan to use it in the future. Pulls together a lot of what I was doing to assess students, in ways that will also stimulate me to think more creatively about how to assess my students.
