F2 Evaluate the assessment process
Feedback from learners and other trainers/assessors is critical to improving the scope and quality of the online assessment process. One of the advantages of the online medium is that often tools are available within the learning platform to automate this sort of feedback. You can create online evaluation surveys and maybe even release them to learners at a predetermined time.
Evaluation can be wide ranging and include questions on:
- learner's emotional reaction to the online learning platform (both positive and negative)
- how the online environment affected motivation
- how the medium encouraged problem solving, communication, teamwork
- the adequacy of support arrangements.
