Assessment: Strategic Example

(From Evan): This video series is from our OLLIE: Assessment, Feedback, and Evaluation course. We start by overviewing the idea of an assessment philosophy, and then take a look at common tools individuals use for conducting assessment in an online course. I then do a show-and-tell series looking at two professional learning courses I teach, touching on how different aspects of our OLLIE course can be seen in these two examples.

Assessment Philosophy

You can start at 2:45 if you would like, as the first bit is more specific about what teachers are doing in that OLLIE course. I highlight 5 common philosophies, but I don't want to pretend that these are the only 5. You might be able to verbalize a unique philosophy with assessment that you use.
