Advanced Work with Embedded and Summative
AssessmentDr. Steve Broskoske
Misericordia University
EDU 533 Computer-based Education
Outline• Review.• Embedded assessment with redirection
of learners.• Manipulating objects on a slide with VBA.• Working with conditional statements:
Summative assessment.• Analyzing student input.
Review
Input Box
• InputBox: Prompts user to enter something. Entered material must be stored in a variable.
• Syntax:Variable = InputBox(Prompt:=“text”, Title:=“title bar text”)
Counting Variable
• You can add a counting variable to keep track of how many times a student has taken to locate the correct response.
Dim tries As Integer
tries = tries + 1
Conditional Statements
• Syntax for a conditional statement:
If condition Then codingElse codingEnd If
Navigating• Action settings allow you to navigate to a
specified slide. With VBA and conditional statements (If…Then), you can control where a student navigates next.
• Syntax:ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.– GotoSlide (num)– Next– Previous
Embedded Assessment with Redirection of Learners
Embedded Assessment with Redirection of Learners
• When we add embedded assessment:– Allows us to monitor how students are
understanding material.– Allows us to redirect learners to review
material.
Redirection statement:ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Gotoslide(2)
Embedded/Formative vs.Summative Assessment
• Embedded:– Provide feedback to
learner.– Possibly give them
more than one chance at material.
– Redirect learners back through material for review or relearning.
• Summative (test):– Do not provide
feedback.– Allow learners to have
one chance at each item (question).
– Keep score.– Display score at end
for assessment purposes.
Planning Ideas• Create a naming plan for variables and
procedures so that you do not reuse names.• Because this is formative assessment, think
about providing constructive, informative feedback that the learner can use.
• Think about if it is appropriate to provide multiple tries on an item.
• See which coding (macros) you can reuse by making minor naming changes.
Embedded Assessment with Redirection of Learners
• Let’s ask 3 questions, embedded within the lesson.– Question 1: Let’s give the students one
chance to answer the question.– Question 2: Let’s provide more than one
chance to answer the question.– Question 3: If they get question 2 items
wrong, let’s redirect them back through the material. Otherwise, direct them to go on.
TRY IT• Embedded Question #1• Create a public variable to keep track of learner progress
through the 3 embedded items.• Provide feedback to the learner.

TRY IT• Embedded Question #2• Provide 2 chances to answer the item correctly.• Redirect the user to go to the next slide OR to go back
through the material.

Manipulating Objects on a Slide with VBA
Manipulating Objectson a Slide with VBA
• Using VBA, it is possible to add text to textboxes already on a slide.
With ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes(2).TextFrame.TextRange .Text = “Put some text here.” + Chr$(13) .Text = .Text + “Put more text here.”End With
This statement is too long to remember. To use, just copy and paste it into your VBA, and adjust as needed.
Let’s Understand the Statement
With ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide.Shapes(2).TextFrame.TextRange .Text = “Put some text here.” + Chr$(13) .Text = .Text + “Put more text here.”End With
Chr$(13) is the same as hitting “enter.”
This statement takes the current contents of the text box and adds
more to it.
PP numbers each shape in order. Title is shapes(1), text box is
shapes(2).
Use plus sign (+) here because you are
working with the text property.

Working withConditional Statements:Summative Assessment
Embedded Assessment with Redirection of Learners
• Let’s ask 2 questions, keep track of learner progress, and present the information for printing.– Question 1: One chance to answer – keep
track of progress.– Question 2: One chance to answer – keep
track of progress. Navigate to results.– Create a print results screen.
TRY IT• Embedded Question #1• Create a public variable to keep track of learner progress
through the 3 embedded items.• Provide feedback to the learner.

Analyzing Student Input
Tools to HelpAnalyze Student Input
• Trim(variable)• variable = LCase(variable)• Use If statement with Or to provide input
variations (misspelling).
Spaces and capitalization count when analyzing learner input. Therefore we have to control these elements.

Assignments
Assignment
• We will start putting everything together in this week’s assignment.
• We will start the assignment together.• Utilize the instructor-developed coding
“cheat sheet” when coding from now on. You don’t have to memorize everything. Use the ready-made script elements as needed to create CBT.
Assignments
1. Download Dr. Steve’s VBA Coding “Cheat Sheet.”
2. Download the sample CBT. Let’s start it together.
3. Review the comments we made on our message board about possible topics. Consider the topic for your final CBT project. Start collecting material and ideas to complete this project.
Next Week
• Having completed CBT assessment techniques, next week we will turn to instructional extras you can include when presenting material.
• Instructional practice:– Random numbers.– Arrays.
