A1 Describe assessment requirements

This online guide is designed to assist you in the planning, design, development and delivery of online assessment. It is clear that assessment is best seen as part of a holistic learning process. As such "assessment should provide the necessary feedback to the learner to assist them to monitor and evaluate their learning" (Booth et al 2003)

So, assessment is best seen as integral to the design process and not a tacked on afterthought. You will need to:

  • plan assessment up front in the design process
  • design assessment tasks and select technology based on educational considerations
  • remember to keep in mind the principles of assessment - validity 15/10/07
