|
- How do I ensure that learners
keep working at their projects, and how do I assess
their work?
- When do I assess?
- What do I assess?
- Who do I assess?
- Who does the assessment?
|
As you design activities, you need to build
in an assessment for that activity.
-
Think of who will be assessed:
the individuals in your class, or the groups they are
working in.
-
Think of who will conduct the assessment.
Note that the assessment does not need to be conducted
by you, as it could be a self-assessment or peer-assessment.
-
Think of how you can assess the
learners while they are busy with an activity in a way
which helps them to improve their work (formative assessment).
-
Think of the outcome(s) you wish your
learners to achieve, and then devise a rubric which
allows the assessor to measure how well the outcome has
been achieved.

Activity
- Read the article on Assessment
& monitoring.
Case study
- Look at the Assessment
plan for IIWTP and note the kinds of assessment
that are included in the project. As you look at this,
think about your own project and how you can include
a variety of assessment methods.
Planning
- Complete the assessment overview
in your Project Planner,
which you have saved in your home folder.
- Choose one possible activity from
your project, and fill in an assessment plan
for that activity in your Project Planner.
- Once you have completed it, save it and send it as
a file attachment in email to
your tutor (using the subject heading "Activity Assessment") for feedback.
