Welcome to Week 4! In this unit we are going to be taking a look at the technical side
of assessment. As an instructor, you probably already have a preference for assessment depending
on your course or teaching style. It’s now time to start thinking about the best way
to transfer that assessment to an online environment. Whether informal or formal, your assessment
may best be carried out as a drop box, discussion forum, or quiz. We’ll be looking at all
three methods in this unit. One other alternative is to have students complete something offline,
such as an assignment on a publisher Web site. In this case, you’d use the ‘Basic format’
to enter in information and, later on, a grade.
One thing to remember is that due dates for all of your activities and discussion forums
must be changed at the start of each term. Keep in mind that all times in CampusWeb are
Eastern Standard Time. We've found that because of this, setting a due date of midnight can
cause confusion. We recommend using a due time of 11:55 PM.
