Book description
Written by Rena M. Palloff and Keith Pratt, experts in the field of
online teaching and learning, this hands-on resource helps higher
education professionals understand the fundamentals of effective online
assessment. It offers guidance for designing and implementing creative
assessment practices tied directly to course activities to measure
student learning. The book is filled with illustrative case studies,
authentic assessments based in real-life application of concepts, and
collaborative activities that assess the quality of student learning
rather than relying on the traditional methods of measuring the amount
of information retained.
