Welcome to the last week of development!
Monday, August 4th is the 100% completion date for the development of Fall, 2008 courses. At that time the courses will be opened up to the peer advisers and they will have one week to provide you with their feedback. At that time you have one week to work in the pertinent feedback and then we will copy them for Fall Quarter - time flies when you are having fun! Please let me know ASAP if you have any concerns about meeting the August 4th deadline (unless we have previously talked about it).
Many times the last week of development is when you are putting the finishing touches on your courses and create the exams and/or quizzes. I have attached a link to a paper that presents and evaluates different types of student assessment measures--including discussion-generating questions, multiple choice questions, essay questions, and authentic projects--for on-line courses. This paper is available via the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) and the full text is available via the PDF document on the top left hand side of the screen.
The paper asserts that assessment should mimic how students will be evaluated on the job site in the real world, meaning that they should be team members and problem solvers, with the technological and academic skills to communicate the results of their actions. I am sure that reading through this paper will provide you with a plethora of ideas and inspirations! Have fun!
