Online Assessments
When assessing the use of technology assessment tools in an online learning environment, what do you believe are the three most important things to consider?
1. Does it work? Assessments must be tested and work properly or students will get frustrated.
2. Is it valid? Assessments must test what they intend to tes.
3. Is it reliable? Can students replicate the results at a later time.
I would agree with Joel's points, if there is inconsistencies with the assessment outcomes, this is where the frustration can set in.
Frustration for the student would also show if the test is not valid to create a true picture of the students ability.
Reliability can fall with allowing the student to verify the understanding of an assessment, if it stays consistent after practicing the requirements to improve the results.
