Developing Assessment Tools
Too often assessment instructions can be confusing, overly compliance focused and detract from completing the actual assessment task. Effective assessment instructions are not only a compliance requirement but when written well, instructions help to reduce cognitive load, meaning students can focus on what matters, completing the assessment task. In this session we will explore key concepts relating to writing effective assessment instructions in a clear and concise way that adds to quality assessment and a positive student experience.
Building on this, we will discuss one of the most common assessment methods, written questions. Tony will outline when multiple choice is appropriate and techniques for improving your short answer questions. We will explore techniques such as framing and using quantitative measures to enhance reliability and fairness as well as provide the learner with an opportunity to link theory to real world application.
An interactive workshop where you will have multiple opportunities to practice the concepts, this session is for those looking to sharpen their assessment writing skills or validation capability and some background in the TAE and/or assessor skill set will be beneficial.
