I agreed. Validity and reliability are both important in learning skills and assessments.

online learning it the best way to advance training incorporating with advanced technology to help students that have jobs while in school.

as for the learning tools we should have different techniques to help accommodate the different type of students learning

Scenario based quizzes are the best way of assessing online to prevent cheating and also to assess the student understand level.

Scenario based questions develop higher order thinking which lack in memory assessments.  I presently use real legal medical cases in my lessons.  However, I can expand scenario based questions in other activities.

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.
