Extractions: @import "../files/styles/main.css"; Go back to Articles menu Once you have invested valuable time and resources in setting up and maintaining a course Web site, it is well worth the effort to evaluate its effectiveness. Evaluation can reveal unexpected results: perhaps your students are using only specific areas of the site, or perhaps they're using the site in ways you had not anticipated, or perhaps they're not using the site at all. This knowledge, though potentially disheartening, can save you from misspending time and effort. Understanding the strengths and failings of your approach will allow you to adapt your strategy and to make best use of the medium. Two main areas of your site warrant assessment: its usability and its effectiveness as a teaching tool. Usability testing is a method for evaluating the effectiveness of your site's information architecture, navigation, and design. It measures how successful users are in locating information on your site and how they felt about the experience: Were they lost or derailed at any point in the process? Learning assessment measures the effect your site has on the learning process: Did students learn the materials as presented? There is great demand for substantive evaluative studies on the effectiveness of the Web as a tool for teaching. Some institutions are investing heavily in such studies, particularly when the Web is used in place of regular classroom teaching. Formal assessment is complicated, costly, and time-consuming, however, and it must be done by professionals to ensure experimental rigor. For projects with limited resources, consider conducting an informal assessment study. You aren't likely to reach a scientific conclusion about the overall effectiveness of computer-based teaching, but you will gather useful information about the effectiveness of your course Web site. With this information you can structure your further development efforts.

http://www.ed.gov/pubs/OR/ConsumerGuides/perfasse.html

Extractions: A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Number 2 September 1993 WHAT IS IT? Performance assessment, also known as alternative or authentic assessment, is a form of testing that requires students to perform a task rather than select an answer from a ready-made list. For example, a student may be asked to explain historical events, generate scientific hypotheses, solve math problems, converse in a foreign language, or conduct research on an assigned topic. Experienced raterseither teachers or other trained staffthen judge the quality of the student's work based on an agreed-upon set of criteria. This new form of assessment is most widely used to directly assess writing ability based on text produced by students under test instructions. HOW DOES IT WORK? Following are some methods that have been used successfully to assess performance: Open-ended or extended response exercises are questions or other prompts that require students to explore a topic orally or in writing. Students might be asked to describe their observations from a science experiment, or present arguments an historic character would make concerning a particular proposition. For example, what would Abraham Lincoln argue about the causes of the Civil War? Extended tasks are assignments that require sustained attention in a single work area and are carried out over several hours or longer. Such tasks could include drafting, reviewing, and revising a poem; conducting and explaining the results of a science experiment on photosynthesis; or even painting a car in auto shop.

Local leaders can help others recognize the advantages that emerge from anannual testing system and the use of assessment to enhance teaching.
http://www.ncrel.org/policy/pubs/html/beyond/stakes.htm

Extractions: Assessment for School Improvement Although accountability for test scores may serve as a catalyst for change by focusing the spotlight on academic success and failure, it provides no substantial inputs into the system. Testing is primarily an outcome-measuring device. Test scores alone are not a sufficient motivator of change. They merely highlight the need for a process that can take the raw data that is collected, analyze it, use that data to inform decision making, and redirect resources to address areas of need. In effect, high-stakes tests are simply one tool that must be supplemented with a variety of inputs that are necessary for continuous school improvement. A primary role for local education leaders in preparing for and responding to the culture of high-stakes testing is to prime the pump. A district or school must have in place the capacity to respond to increasing calls for external accountability. Without a vision for long-term capacity building to move from a single focus on high-stakes testing to a culture of assessment for school improvement, test scores alone will do little to influence changes in instruction, practice, and eventually student performance. The following five strategies can help school leaders support the use of assessment to promote successful teaching and learning.

Research projects On this page: The English Language Institute within the School provides an English language programme which is itself a focus of research and development. David is currently developing process standards for trial and future publication. Page Top Language testing is another area of research strength, led by Dr John Read, who is a recognised authority in the field. Research studies have concentrated on the testing of proficiency in English for academic purposes and the assessment of vocabulary knowledge. A current project which combines these two interests is The Lexical Dimension of the IELTS Speaking Test, funded by a grant from IELTS Australia to John Read and Paul Nation. The study, which is based on an analysis of audiorecordings of 100 candidates in the speaking module of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), is investigating the role played by vocabulary use in the performance of candidates at different proficiency levels. It focuses in particular on the incidence of formulaic sequences and the extent to which they may influence the way that the performance is rated.

http://ltu.cce.umn.edu/guide/design_dev/assessment.html

Extractions: Because students are geographically dispersed, tests are best given on the web site. Some instructors, however, are uneasy when they cant oversee the test taker, as they might in the classroom. Yet, requiring students to be proctored at an educational institution or a commercial testing center is not only labor intensive, but for students runs counter to their goals of accessibility and convenience which led them to distance education in the first place. On the positive side, the tools are becoming very flexible. Course development tools like WebCT, allow timed, remediated quizzes with automatic grading, and online posting of scores. Of course, the quiz types available in WebCT true/false, multiple choice, and essay have their own strengths and shortcomings.
