Summative Assessments

Lindsay, You make great points. The summative assessment should measure the objectives. I love your statement, assessment should not be a mystery. I agree. Students need to be reminded about the learning goals of the course and/or unit. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Technology Assessment Tools

Agnes, You make such a great point. I actually had this situation happen. My institution bought software that was easy to use for the student, easy to design an assessment for the instructor; but I could not get the results in a meaningful fashion. It was horrible. That is poor software. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Summative Assessments

Amanda, You are right. So many people just see assessment as a tool to evaluate students. Assessment will give the instructor information that may help improve delivery and/or techniques in teaching. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Technology Assessment Tools

Lindsay, I understand what you are saying. You really need several strategies when using technology assessment tools. I too teach a writing course and I actually use video capture to review the paper using audio grading . I talk through the paper and make electronic comments. Students love it. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Technology Assessment Tools

Stacy, What a great post. You are right, we should never use technology for technology's sake. Students should be able to do what they need to do and the instructor should be able to do what they need to do. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Peter, You raise an important point. Assessment is such an important point in learning. I really hadn't thought about the need to change assessment as much as content. You have given me something to think about. . . Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Selecting Appropriate Course Content

Julie Ann, You are exactly right! We seem to think we need to change the content but we may not be able to. The process to change curriculum varies from institution to institution but it can be arduous. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
