Having an appropriate amount of formative assessments allows students to feel confident in their levels of understanding and preparation for summative assessments.
Assessments and their method of delivery should directly correlate to the expectations outlined. If a student is being evaluated on specific content, that should have been clearly communicated through expectations and the rubrics provided should break down their demonstration of undertstanding and ability to showcase their knowledge clearly.
Feedback is essential in the learning process. Be sure the feedback provided is intentional, has been thought out, is explained in a way that the student sees guidance toward growth or improvement and is relevant to the project/assessment.
The design of the two types of assessment are important. The assessments should be well designed with clear relevance to the current course work. It is sometimes possible and desired to include self and peer assessment in the process of the coure. It is alwasy important to ave clear and detailed rubrics for each assessment.
Teaching Online: A Student-Centered Approach --> Assessment Plan
Having various types of assessments: formative, summative, self and peer assessments are excellent way to balance assessments and enhance learning. Also, providing effective feedback gives the students valuable information to enhance their learning and performance.
Assesments come in several different forms and it is important that we make sure we use any and all that are need to make sure the student learning is continuing and to make sure that teaching processes are revised and improved to meet the needs. depending on the content rubrics could be useful for Summary assessments, and self/peer.
Consistant feedback that is positive, ongoing, provided in a variety of ways is crucial to keep students engaged and progressing.
A thorough rubric, followed by a combination of assesments is key to providing the student an accurate indicator of how well they are perceiving and relaying the content. This system also can lend the instructor valuable information as to how well they are teaching and delivering the content to the students.
I like the concepts of formative and summative assessment. After assessment feedback plays an important part in helping the student understand how they did.
I really need to focus assessment for the future use in Elearning. I use summative and a little formative but I can see the value of useing peer and self assessment in the class. These will be gamechangers for many students who need the guideance and assurance that they are needed to succeed in the course.
Feedback is very important for improved student learning. Also, when making rubrics, make them as clear and detailed as possible so that students understand them. Have students self assess with the rubric before they turn in a project and then reflect and make changes to the project before they submit it.
Feedback is of the utmost importance for online learning. Giving timely feedback lets students know what they are doing well and what they need to improve or work on.
Difference between formative (to include self and peer0 and summative assessment, how to develop rubrics and importance of tying rubrics to course objectives as well as imporatnce of providing a meaningful feedback.
I will be tying the rubrics to the objectives and use self and peer assessment to help students develop higher levels of learning (be able to apply, analyze, evaluate and create) I will also use self and peer assessment to deepen student's understanding of content, skills and develop constructive critisism ability.
Providing proper feedback to students is essential to increasing their knowledge.
Self- and peer-assessment help students develop skill in not only evaluating their own and others' work, but develop skills in providing constructive criticism.
I still think rubrics tend to be subjective but feedback is essential. I struggle with teaching students to see the positive in feedback that it is to help them focus to areas they can improve instead of always looking at it as a criticism or associating it with pointing out what they did wrong. I try to refrain from too much praise because it can give students the impression that they are so awesome there is no area for them to improve which gives them this false perceptionof grandiose.
Providing feedback to students regarding their work helps improve learning. I find this to be the same in both face-to-face instruction and in distance learning and the importance of using formative evaluation and summative evaluation.
The lesson provided me with knowledge on formative vs summative assessments, utilization of a rubric,student to student assessing and various feedback models to the learners.
When students are provided with a rubric for self-assessment they realize the importance of the objectives and relate the designated criteria to their work, this is a learning opporunity. Providing meaningfull feedback supplements and reinforces the learning process. Such feedback enhances the students exoeriences and success.
The intent of feedback builds student learning capacity or hinders the capacity. The instructor is key to the outcome.
In this module I learned about meaningful assessessements. Assessments should have formal assessments imbeded in the lessons and summative feedback. Clear instructions and a rubric help for proper assessment. When grading a teacher also needs to provide clear and meaningful feeback.
This part of the course was very imformative. Rubrics are very imprortant with discussion boards and written assignments. They let the student know the expectations of the assignment.
