Session 8: Effective Assessment for e-Learning

1.You will develop two or three assessment activities/measures for the course you hypothetically developed in Session 5. Refer to the assigned readings, especially the table “Selecting appropriate assessment measures” in the textbook, page 285. Also incorporate assessment strategies of learning that you experienced/used as a teacher and a student and that you think them as effective methods. Post your answer to this in your blog.



Online Network (2005, 1) noted that“ effective online instruction depends on learning experiences appropriately designed and facilitated by knowledgeable educators."(Gaytan,Jorge&McEwen,Beryl)(p1) my assessment is about develop student skills and knowledge by provide them useful tools of technology. The good online assessment project requires interdependent work by student it will result in positive outcome in social interaction.(283)book.
My first assessment will be synchronous student communication
In my course I will try to do my best to communicate with my student all the time by provide them with the syllables at the first day to know my office hour if they need face to face meeting or by use skype to shat with my student about the course . I will let my student explore the new technology tools at the beginning and try to be flexible with my course if they need to learn a new technique and try to solve any problem may my student face it by make them try to solve it at the beginning.
the beginning of the class each student has to ask them self several question
Why they take this course?
What they want to learn in this course?
What kind of skills they want to develop in this course?
At the end of the the course I will ask the student
What did you learn in this course?
What is your recommendation to make the course better?

The course will depend on Discussion ,and other thing beside that. I want to learn new things statement, Investigations, Problem Solving Activities, Response Groups, Self-Evaluations at the end of the course.
This course will depend on immediate feedback while I am using sharing tools like skype.
Quick feed back make the student communicate with each other all the time in this kind of situation because this type of chatting tools make student know each other and welling to learned from each other to.
My second goal will be give student new assignment to do each week. There will be no testing the score will depend on the work that the student made. because I am one of the student who don’t recommend to give exam to other student because I know how much the student scare from the word exam and it well be not far to evaluate student just from the exam side but if we evaluate the student from deferent way like how to develop his assignment and the way student communicate with other will be better choice.
Second assessment develop a portfolio.
The student will conduct all his best work through the quarter and presented in his blog at the end of the quarter. The goal of this class to built the skills and make student feel proud about them self according to the book(self reflection leading student to develop of stander, and determination of criteria to use in selecting these materials are integral component of this work.)book( p276) this kind of strategy are useful for online student because it show how the student are connected to the course in perfect way .
One of the objective for this course. The grad will depend on the design creation of product.
When the student develop a good blog design that has no error and unique at the same time will earn more extra credit that will add to the student grad.
Second objective there will be a discussion each week between the teacher and the student about the course material
