This was a very helpful and informative class. I learned how effective online assessments can help instructors monitor students’ progress and provide timely feedback. I plan to apply these strategies by using clear instructions, varied assessment methods, and constructive feedback to support my students’ learning.

We already use a combination of these tools in our online/hybrid program. From quiz assessments to essay writing. Something we do not do is anything collaborative. We have a form of Discussion assessment, students answering a question from previous weeks material that requires student responses. In this we can see how well they are comprehending the material on their own and they respond to other students with opinions regarding their chosen answer. We can also give feedback to each response in our own words and from out own experiences to help give them further information. 

It's very important to develop the technological skills in our students because they have to adapt and operate in an increasingly technological world. 

The three-legged stool analogy lets us understand that students are really able to learn, but it's important to keep the strength in each leg of the stool, which represents the areas before, during, and after the lesson, in order to not getting an off-balance situation.

Tip that deserves to take into account.

In this module I learned that online assessments allow the professor immediate feedback students preferences.

They also offer the opportunity to promote testing environments and digital skills that can carry over into the students' profession after graduation.

And very important: online assessments before, during and after a lesson can help students evaluate their progress towards course goals, and also help teachers appraise the teaching methods they're using to ensure the students have the best opportunities to learn successfully.

I'll use these tools from now on to get better the teaching process.

Rubrics are great at helping students learn to follow directions effectively as well.  It's also very important to grade according to the rubric and not throw added expectations after the fact as an instructor.

Comment on Brenda Noel's post: 100% agree

Comment on Michael Leger's post: If those are online, we have to have a way to ensure the integrity of those assessments as well.  

I will often utilize AI to make quizzes and even games based on the material I am covering.
