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.

Hi, 

I agree with Thuraya Abdulla, about three types of assessments: value-added, alternative and authentic assessments were new terminologies.

Hi, 

I agree with the guidelines for writing and using objective assessments present in this module, they are:

Focus on the desired outcomes/objectives. Make sure the question is specific to the content and appropriate to the group being tested. Make objective assessments only one component of the total, varied student assessment process. For formative quizzes/tests, provide feedback for correct and incorrect answer options. Use short, frequent quizzes/tests. Use test banks based on several questions and randomly select questions for use in assessments. Write questions that require higher order skills.

Hi,

I consider that the diagnostic assessment is very important to design a self-assessment by pre-test and post-test and 1-2-3-list. It takes more time, the instructor continually develops assessment and evaluate the students. Is the best tool to identify learning level.

Hi,

I agree with the advantages and disadvantages of online assessment that this material presents: instructors can test any time and in any place, administration of tests is simplified, test questions can be randomized, objective tests can be automatically graded, and evaluation and analysis of student data are made easier. Online assessment is important because students have access from any device and time. I practice collecting feedback to identify if they understood the material.

Examining the instructional strategies to work to integrate these components will help develop a learning community and providing feedback is the most important tool to quantify how they learn. A Code of Conduct should be available.
