Distance Teaching
Three Rivers Professional Day - 1/18/2001

On-line student assessment:

• Tests are possible
  • Multiple choice: Easy (even automatic) to grade but hard to make up, these are sometimes hated by students.
  • All-that-apply, True/false, Matching, Ordering, Fill-in-the-blank: These are perhaps an improvement over multiple choice.
  • Short answer: These are more meaningful, but hard to grade on-line.
• More substantial products
  • Papers
  • Web pages
  • Data sets
  • Data analyses
  • Other presentations

Proctored exams are possible. When are they necessary?
