Marie, I think it does add a way for students to make connections to the real world in their "own" way. The technology tools do allow us to manage the process easier than in the past for both f2f and online environment. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Using Objective and/or Subjective Evaluations

Thomas, You make a GREAT point. It is important to let students know WHY they did so poorly. I find that that is the hardest thing to do is to get students to look at the test not just the grade! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Laura, So, you use objective evaluations as part of your formative assessments, that is a perfect use of it, particularly if you are using a LMS, you can create quick evaluations that grade themselves. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
