I was unaware of all of the different online assessment tools available. I like the idea of using test banks and having students repeat them to get a different score, while having them get different questions each time.
Student feedback is vital to understanding if an instructor is being effective with assesment tools.
Open ended or essay type questions on a online assessment, encourages cirtical thinking. Providing AI doesnt get in the way of thier answers.
Utilizing the proper tools to make each lesson of teaching an effective is a very important thin to think about
Understanding the students understanding of course material and if it has been addressed so students can comprehend material and directions to complete tasks.
Using a variety of different forms of assessments might highlight student success that otherwise wouldn't have been captured
I would focus on creating a hands-on learning environment where students can build practical skills and confidence in the kitchen. I would encourage them to experiment with flavors, techniques, and presentations. We would also focus on proper kitchen safety, hygiene, and the use of tools to ensure a safe and efficient working space. Ultimately, my goal would be to inspire students to develop a passion for cooking and prepare them for real-world culinary challenges.
Online assessment requires the proper format to be presented to the student, the instructor needs to know the function of the type of assessment to ensure the student objectives are reached. Feedback from Students can help Instructors adjust to the students needs in relationship to the formats presented Online.
I learned the value of investigating tools prior to implementing them into the classroom.
I learned that to select the appropriate technological tool for student evaluation, we must take into account the rubric of a particular topic, examine whether the chosen tool meets the established objectives and if not, try another tool, and before doing so, take into account the feedback provided by the students.
Online quizzes and tests are familiar types of assessment tools for the online environment. Other examples include audio/video, digital portfolio, performance assessment, Track Changes, virtual labs, simulations, and WebQuests. There are a variety of technology assessment tools that function to assess student learning.
Utilizing the right tools can be what separates learning and just getting by with students. We must understand the value it can bring in and out the classroom.
Using WebQuests for project-based assessments is something new to me. I appreciate that it is "an all-inclusive activity to help the student focus on the content rather than spending time trying to search for information online." Finding more ways to have students engage more in learning rather than stressing about researching is always a plus.
I learned about WebQuests. This is a new-to-me tool that I will explore for my online classes.
I have learned that not all the assessments used in on-ground courses will be the most effective for an online learning environment and that I need to learn more about online learners to discover which type of assessment will work best for them.
