I like the idea of giving them multiple attempts on quizzes to build confidence and to tap into the student's intrinsic need to do the best they can. In my situation it's important for them to know the content to some extent but also be able to find it when needed, so I allow open book on the final exam.
Hello everyone,
In this module, I learned the importance of designing online assessments that not only measure knowledge but also support the learning process through timely feedback, self-assessment opportunities, and clear model answers. I also understood the complementary value of synchronous and asynchronous discussions in enhancing student engagement.
I plan to apply these insights by organizing my courses with well-contextualized tasks, multiple-attempt quizzes, and formative feedback that encourages students to reflect and grow independently.
Best of luck to you all in the upcoming modules!
The lesson here is to better have a online course set up with a time table just like the length of the course. This structure is necessary in order to bring clarity and flow for the student progress and it aids to see how far in advance you should prepare for exams and quizzes.
Quizzes are very resourceful to both student and the instructor in terms of tracking progress. Also provides immediate feedback, helps identify areas of improvement, and builds confidence.
Online courses are very important because they can get to more people than just a regular go to class. Testing is a must to keep the student a tuned to where they are in each module.
Discussions are the "meat and potatoes" of getting any topic to your class. Lecture methods vary, but discussion methods also do. Online lectures are a little more difficult to maintain engagement because the students are not in a classroom having live conversations.
I learned about applying critical thinking skills in this module when creating a syllabus. Analyzing the grading criteria, including quizzes, was particularly informative. I discovered that quizzes can serve as motivational tools, helping students build confidence. Additionally, providing timely feedback on quiz results is essential, allowing students to learn from their mistakes and improve their performance on future exams.
I agree it is a good idea and will boost a student's confidence level if they have unlimited attempts to complete a quiz. I have not done this before, but will do so in the future.
Es importante tomar en cuenta los tipos de preguntas al momento de realizar el examen, que permita medir el nivel cognitivo del estudiante, dejando a un lado la reflexión y análisis. De igual forma, que el estudiante reciba una retroalimentación inmediata.
Lo aprendido en este módulo es cual es la importancia de incorporar ejercicios de pensamiento crítico en el contenido, con la finalidad de generar un aprendizaje basado en resolución de problema, así como se debe de plantear correctamente las directrices y como estas juegan un papel fundamental en la planificación.
La importancia de la retroalimentación en los procesos de evaluación de cursos en línea y el impacto que puede tener un feedback preciso y oportuno para evitar ideas arraigadas en los estudiantes
Quizzes serve as "checkpoints" to boost confidence and ensure that a student is on track towards the course's learning targets.
me interesa esas actividades asincronas como los foros o chats donde se busca un dialogo con los a otros participantes que socilaización y profundizan en su aprendizaje
This section was a review of syllabus requirements, which most of the time are standard now (should be). I did learn some helpful suggestion on elements I may have been missing.
There need to be quick checks, like a quiz, to help assess progress.
Giving students multiple attempts on quizzes to allow them the learn the information they do not know
In my culinary classes, I create eLearning environments even for my live, in-person sessions because time with my students is limited, and there's only so much content we can cover during our face-to-face classes. I use eLearning as an additional resource to extend learning beyond the physical classroom. This allows students to engage with course material at their own pace, review key concepts, and access supplementary resources such as instructional videos, recipes, and quizzes, all of which reinforce our hands-on experiences during class. By integrating eLearning, I can maximize our limited time while ensuring students have continuous opportunities to deepen their knowledge and skills outside of class hours.
Timely feedback is critical, especially regarding ongoing coursework where the student is required to build on what they have previously constructed.
Multiple attempts at lower stake quizzes help student to gain knowledge and confidence for midterms and finals.
Every aspect of course design is important and contributes to the success of the student from the outline of the syllabus to the immediate feedback to the student. I understand how to put a course together in a methodical manner.
