Course overview

Entry requirements: Competent computer user skills and basic knowledge of web applications.

Course duration: Three days. Day one is delivered as online distance learning over the week up to and including 12 June. Days two and three are face-to-face.

All practical exercises will take place in a computer suite.

Course descriptionThe aim of this course is to introduce delegates to the concepts of assessment and examine techniques for supporting and measuring learning and performance with online objective testing (e-assessment). During one day of distance learning and two days of classroom-based presentations and activities you will be introduced to a range of topics related to e-assessment.

These will include:

• Theories of learning and assessment

• Assessment technologies

• Question item design and analysis

• Web-standards, interoperability standards and specifications

• Question bank development and maintenance; scalability, security and authentication

In addition to the presentations, case studies and hands-on practical activities, guest speakers from industry and academia will share and discuss their experiences of e-assessment in practice. The course will take a very pragmatic approach, moving from theory to creating and applying knowledge and skills.

Who should attendE-assessment is relevant to many roles across all sectors. This course will be of interest to individuals from a variety of backgrounds including, but not limited to:

• Managers with responsibility for e-learning and e-assessment projects

• Learning and development staff

• Instructional designers

On successful completion of this course delegates will be able to:• Design effective objective tests

• Distinguish between formative and summative assessment (low - high stakes)

• Develop assessment data collection strategies

• Analyse assessment results and the design of question items

• Appreciate the impact of technologies and standards for e-assessment

• Identify the development requirements for large and small scale assessment projects

• Map technologies to e-assessment requirements

• Apply e-assessment theory and practical skills within their own context

Course outlineThe equivalent of the first day of the course is conducted online over the period of one week. Delegates will be asked to login to a virtual learning environment where they will be provided with tutor-supported sessions on the theories of learning and assessment. The focus will be on the possibilities and limitations of objective testing and basic question design.

Day two commences with a recap of the online activities and quickly moves into extending traditional multiple choice tests to assess higher order thinking. During the day delegates will be introduced to contrasting test theories, the statistical analysis of question items and the technologies and standards commonly encountered in e-assessment. A case study from industry compliance testing in Strategic Export Controls will provide the basis for learning about the issues of scaling up e-assessment to cater for many thousands of users.

Syndicated activities will challenge delegates to apply what they are learning.

During the final day delegates will be introduced to the practicalities of item bank development and management. Real-world examples will be used to illustrate the importance of a range of issues affecting systems design, item bank development and validation of question items. Presentations from invited speakers, one from industry and one from academia, will stimulate further discussion about how e-assessment methods can be deployed in practice.
