 * <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Course Overview: **<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> This course examines assessment and evaluation in an online learning environment from the perspective of teachers and students in K-12 environments. A wide variety of effective assessment strategies are presented including self-evaluation, <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">authentic assessment, triangulation, continuous evaluation, pre- and post- testing, use of observational data and others. Particular attention is paid to selecting the most appropriate and engaging assessment strategies for students and content that addresses the needs of students, keeping in mind the need to apply Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles when selecting assessment methods.
 * <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Objectives **<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">:
 * 1) <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The teacher understands that good online assessment informs both teacher and learner about learner progress through the curriculum, and contributes to the learning process.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The teacher understands that good online assessment measures meaningful outcomes, and provides an opportunity for informing the teacher about student performance and the quality of course experiences, resulting in meaningful feedback to the learner.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The teacher is accomplished at evaluating progress in learning, refining plans for instruction and using assessment information to establish learning options to support high levels of student performance.

In this Quail assessment you will be presented with a series of scenarios. After reading the scenario you will select the "best" assessment strategy and an explanation for your selected assessment strategy. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> || <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Assignment || Writing Course Goals and Learning Objectives One of the overarching goals of this course is that each week you will iteratively build an assessment system for an online course you would like to develop and/or teach. One week we will address surveys for formative assessment, another the design of selected response assessments, another the design of essays and/or open response, and in the last module portfolio assessment.

None of this can happen, however, without recognition of goals and objectives for your course. Your job this week is to identify your course goals and objectives to which all assessments will be linked. If you are taking the other courses in this program I hope you will be able to use this list to build your discussion forums, your assessments, and in the final course use them for the design of your learning modules.

In this assignment you will identify the observable and assessable goals. The following link, http://teachingcommons.depaul.edu/How_to/Develop_a_Course/goals.html, has some valuable resources that may guide you in the authoring of your course goals.

Please generate the list of course goals, making sure that they are observable and assessable, and post them to both the discussion forum and your assessment wiki. We will return to looking at these course goals to make sure that your assessments are aligned with your goals. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> || <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Assignment || Creating an Online Assessment Wiki We will model the use of Web 2.0 tools for assessment in this course. The first tool we will model is the use of a wiki for assessment.

You are to create a wiki for this course consisting of the following elements: You are free to use any wiki hosting site of your choice. Many teachers select Wikispaces which is available at []
 * 1) Weekly summaries
 * 2) Reflections on the application of your coursework to your individual setting/district
 * 3) Sample assessments
 * 4) Areas for collaboration with other teachers

After you have created your wiki place the link to your wiki in the Discussion Board. Please comment on at least two other course participants wiki's at least once a week. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> || <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> **<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Week Two: //Formative, Summative, and Alternate/Authentic Assessment// ** <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> //<span style="font-family: "ArialMT","sans-serif";">Objectives: The students will be able to //<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> //<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Activities // <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Readings || <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Centre for the Study of Higher Education.
