Intention and Perception: Designing questions for online assessments.

Abstract

During the session participants will be guided through a process to develop and evaluate assessment components that target higher order cognitive skills. Building on this base, participants will engage in a process of creating new questions that align with the learning outcomes (LO) for a course. As a group, we will discuss online quizzes and how we can embrace their unique characteristics while designing questions. Itinerary: I. Relationship between LO and assessment and its significance Activity 1: Recognizing misalignment. II. Question alignment Progress from creation to reflection to revision III. The online perspective Discussion: Characteristics of an online quiz Transitioning current assessments to the online setting Embracing these traits in question design Activity 2: Create a question that aligns with a given CLO, reflect and revise.
