Courses and resources

Creating on-line assessments (both summative and formative) can provide an efficient and effective way of evaluating your students.

Assessments can be marked automatically together with the instant provision of feedback.

A comprehensive set of on-line assessment tools exists within the Exeter Learning Environment (ELE) and this course will focus on using these to create on-line tests.

There will also be discussion on the pedagogical issues of how to create effective on-line assessments, especially on the need to provide good feedback.

Aims and Outcomes:

1 Understand the different on-line quiz facilities (and question formats) within ELE (including Hot Potatoes).

2 Create quizzes within ELE (including feedback) and apply the relevant settings for release.

3 Understand the pedagogical issues of creating on-line questions, especially the need to provide automatic feedback.

4 Access and interrogate student on-line quiz scores within ELE.

Additional Information:
