Within this module, you will be asked to watch tutorials and read articles on creating assessments for your course. This module discusses three kinds of assessment: diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment, providing digital options for conducting these types of assessment in an online or hybrid course. Throughout this module, you will be asked to conceptualize different kinds of assessments that align with the learning objectives you outlined for module 1 of your course.
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
Incorporate assessments that measure the achievement of the stated learning objectives or competencies.
Articulate specific and descriptive criteria for the evaluation of learners’ work, clearly connected to the course grading policy.
Incorporate assessments that are sequenced, varied, and suited to the level of the course.
Provide learners with multiple opportunities to track their learning progress with timely feedback.
As you progress throughout this module, think specifically about the role of formative versus summative assessment in your course.
