Assessing higher levels of learning in post-secondary education. (Online Instruction).
Abstract
This article describes the results of a study that investigated how to assess higher levels of online learning in post-secondary education. The results of a six item open-ended questionnaire indicated that traditional forms of assessment typically used (i.e., paper and pencil exams) has limited application in online learning environments, indicating a need for alternative assessment strategies. Alternative assessment strategies suggested in the results of this study include the use of negotiated contracting, embedded assessment, learning portfolios, presentations, and repertory grids.
