Best Practices for Online Assessment Strategies
Abstract: Among the many areas of concern for the online instructor is the question of designing effective and efficient assessment methods for the online environment. Developing the correct sequence, timing and frequency of assessment techniques is a critical component of any course design. In this session, we will focus on the following questions regarding the design, development and deployment of assessment techniques in the online environment: 1. In what ways can you assess student learning to ensure that intended learning outcomes are being met? 2. How can you use this information to improve your teaching? 3. Are you checking for student understanding on an on-going basis?
