Mary Burns writes about computer-based assessments in eLearning Industry’s online blog. She says poor design is one of the main reasons any assessment will fail. We agree, but we also know that a proper assessment tool can be just as important. We say this with confidence because we built our own tool. Here’s Mary’s Guidelines For Developing Good Online Assessments:
- Remember the before, during and after of assessment
- Know why you want to assess
- Choose the right tool
- Follow guidelines for creating multiple-choice tests
