    Study Notes

    E-Assessment Definitions and Principles

    • E-assessment uses technology to measure student learning.
    • Computer-based assessment has existed since the 1970s, reducing human scoring.
    • Computer-adaptive testing (CAT) dynamically adjusts questions based on student responses.
    • Web-based assessment is delivered via online learning systems.

    Quality in Online Teaching Practices

    • Student differences, content, and learning objectives are crucial in online learning, alongside instructor capabilities.
    • Principles for quality teaching and assessment are similar in online and in-person environments.
    • Explicit learning outcomes, engaging content, real-life connections, and respecting individual differences are key.
    • Using appropriate assessment tools, providing timely feedback, and ensuring student participation are important.
    • Leveraging student feedback and fostering effective communication are essential.
    • Promoting collaboration among learners also enhances quality.

    Feedback Mechanisms for Learning

    • Effective feedback should be timely, enhance learning, improve communication, and offer clear performance information.
    • Feedback should help learners bridge gaps between current and desired performance, and provide guidance for instructors.

    E-Assessment Environments

    • E-assessment environments can be categorized into four types:
      • Evaluation products (essays, projects, presentations)
      • Automated scoring tools (multiple choice, short answer)
      • Online discussion tasks (groups, role-play)
      • Web publishing (web pages, blogs, e-portfolios)

    Qualitative E-Learning Assessment Methods

    • Assessment types depend on learning objectives and learning management system (LMS) functions.
    • Various assessment types are needed for diverse learning objectives.
    • Assesments include multiple-choice, multiple response, sequencing, scenarios, group collaboration, open-ended questions, case studies, fill-in-the-blank, matching, labeling, sorting, gamification, proctored exams and online interviews, and e-learning blogs.

    Specific Assessment Types

    • Multiple-Choice/Multiple Response: Assess basic fact memorization.
    • Sequencing: Tests ordering of information or steps in a process.
    • Scenario-based: Assess application of skills and knowledge within a situation. Types include skills-based, problem-based, speculative, and gaming.
    • Group Collaboration: Learners work together and provide peer feedback (least quantitative).
    • Open-Ended Questions: Learners share their understanding of a topic (graded on key elements).
    • Case Studies: Analyze facts to draw conclusions (often timed).
    • Fill in the Blank: Tests basic memorization (useful as a quick knowledge check).
    • Matching, Labeling, & Sorting: Quick assessments, useful in modules for checking knowledge and identifying knowledge gaps.
    • Gamification: Engaging way to test understanding as a fun game, can include multiple levels of increasing difficulty.
    • Proctored Exams: Overseen assessments, usually for licensing or accreditation (traditional, less interactive).
    • Online Interviews: Conducted using video conferencing, suitable for smaller groups or mentoring.
    • E-learning Blogs: Students post regularly, assessed based on posting schedule and word count.
