Consider the best means of developing and delivering assessments, projects, and assignments that meet standards-based learning goals and assess learning progress by measuring student achievement of learning goals. How might a teacher employ ways to assess student readiness for course content and method of delivery? To demonstrate this, create a formative assessment in a demo course you are creating. Post a link to the assessment in your blog.
As I stated in a previous quest, Formative Assessments are key for students and teachers to understand where a student's learning is. In a face to face classroom, teachers are formally and informally assessing student work on a daily basis. I really like this definition from Wikipedia of formative assessment
All those activities undertaken by teachers, and or/students, which provide information to
be used as feedback to modify the teaching and learning activities in which they are engaged (Black and William 1998).
It is harder to assess on a daily basis in an online learning environment because often there is not the daily interaction that you have with your students in a traditional setting. While in synchronous sessions, class discussions, or by posing a question in a news post teachers can employ some traditional methods:
1. Exit ticket - students can answer a few questions about they learned in a session and send via email. This way the instructor has an idea of what students got and where they need to go.
2. After posing and article i often have students complete a 3.2.1 Three things they learned, two connections to the content, and one question you have. This tells me how well students are relaying the information to what we are studying.
In an online environment, there are times when student need to be able to review or be assessed on their own time. for my online class and face to face class I like to use Kahoot. Kahoot is a game-based learning platform. As long as students have a code to a game, student can review by themselves or other students. I assign students a number, so they can be anonymous if they choose to be. The game collects data on what questions each particpant gets wrong or right. By playing these games, I can gage how much prior knowledge a student has, where misconceptions lie, or help figure out what concepts they are missing for an upcoming test.
