Module 8: Evaluation and Assessment

Online Assessment

This week we learned about online assessments. I had to create two online assessments that focused on things that I learned earlier this semester. The two online resources I used to create these assessments were Quizlet and Quizizz. One assessment focused on UDL and the other focused on Social Bookmarking. Creating these online assessments was very beneficial to me. I can use online assessments in my future classroom. I could have students create Quizlets to help them study, or I could create other things using Quizezz or Kahoot! to help my students study and learn. Doing this will help my students because it will make the learning more fun and interactive. This will help the students retain the information better, and will help them become more successful.

One challenge that should be considered would be the availability of internet access and a possible learning curve when it comes to technology. If I was getting my students to create a Quizlet to help them study, I would most likely assign it as a take-home project. The problem with doing that is the possibility of some students not having internet access at their house, or them not understanding and being able to work with technology. If they were working on it at school, they would have internet access and I would be there to help them out if they had problems with the technology. However, I cannot assume that all students will know what to do and have appropriate internet access when they are on their own. Ignoring these possible challenges would be unfair and unprofessional on my part, and that could lead to more problems down the road.
