What are the 3 main types of assessment?
Diagnostic
Formative
Summative
Competency-based
Diagnostic Assessment
Assessment as learning-usually at the beginning of course or unit
- allows learners to take ownership of learning-Ex: Mindmap, survey, journal etc
assessment for learning
-ongoing, feedback from in the moment checks for understanding
assessment of learning
-conducted at the end to gauge learning
-ex: final exam
To see if a learner can perform the kind of skill needed. usually considered an authentic assessment

Indirect Assessment
does not look at learners' actual work but instead uses information gathered from other sources.
uses the learners' confidence in their knowledge as a tool for making students metacognitively aware of the learning process.

Remember
This level of learning requires students to recall knowledge learned before proceeding to the next level.
Memorization
Describe, relate, tell, find
This is a level where students comprehend information presented verbally or in written or graphic form and are able to explain it.
Decode information
Outline, explain, predict
This is a level that is dependent on a student's understanding of concepts or ideas and using that information in new situations. Some specific outcome verbs associated with this level include: demonstrate, experiment, or modify.
Illustrate, complete, solve
This level refers to how students start comparing, contrasting, or even examining the learned knowledge they have.
Examining and breaking down information

Learning Analytics
why something happened
descriptive analytics is limited to indicating that something has occurred, without explaining why
What is likely to happen based on what we already know. (just an estimate)
the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs.
Learning Analytics
Descriptive Analytics:
why something happened
-Insight into the past
-what happened

What is likely to happen based on what we already know. (just an estimate)
is to find solutions to questions about what should be done.
-apart from finding solutions to what will happen, it should help in understanding why it will happen. More so, prescriptive analytics can help you strategically plan for training interventions.

ethical issues in research
Data ownership and control
-The issue of data ownership
-lack of clarity around who owns the data (institutions vs. students) and this can make principles surrounding meaningful consent complicated.
-relates primarily to how student data is collected and analyzed and used to impact students’ learning.
-Making students and stakeholders more aware of the uses of data brings about challenges, but also allows for greater insight and involvement.
approval to collect student data should be sought at the point of registration
to ensure that data collected and analyzed is accurate and representative of the issue being measured.

Competency Based Assessment
-focus on skills more than knowledge
-These assessments are often an example of authentic assessment because they center on learners applying skills and knowledge by creating the kinds of artifacts and work used in the field being studied.
-measure student learning based on a concrete learning standard, objective, or outcome.
-These assessments measure each learner on individual performance, not against the performance of other learners (norm-referenced), where the score is adjusted to fit what is usually described as a bell curve.
-measures student learning against past knowledge or performance.
-can help motivate learners by showing the distance progressed, even if the learner's performance is not yet at the level of an expert or some classmates.
-use assessment score results to create a comparative score of how

Assessment Methods
Direct methods
used to determine if a learner has met a learning objective
use something that the learner has created for evaluation.
rely on the learner or an observer to determine if the learner has met requirements.
Assessment Methods
Indirect methods
used to determine if a learner has met a learning objective

rely on the learner or an observer to determine if the learner has met requirements.
Comprehensive-Type Assessment
-provide various ways for the instructor to monitor a learner's academic achievement and progress.
-These assessments include benchmark, formative, summative and diagnostic.
-used to evaluate a learner's understanding of a concept, achievement of a learning objective, or completion of a goal.
involves evaluating work produced by a learner.
-allow learners to create posts (in writing, audio, or video) on topics relevant to a course's learning objectives.
-does not look at learners' actual work but instead uses information gathered from other sources
-may also come from surveys that ask if a student has any prior knowledge or skills in the subject being taught, whether the student has previous experience with online learning, or how much time per week the student has available to do course work.

Types of Feedback
Task Level
-addresses the way that the learner examines and adjusts his actions toward his learning goal.
-it encourages the learner to self asses, but to a more critical degree.
-is specific to the processes used for tasks, such as how information is obtained and how the task is connected to related tasks.
- It challenges the student to form a deeper understanding of the learning and encourages him to construct meaning on his own.
-most common type of feedback given. It tells how well the learner has performed a specific task, such as finding the main idea of a paragraph or story.
-can be effective when distinguishing correct from incorrect answers
this level of feedback focuses more on the person than on -the work and is the least effective.
-It typically builds a student up, but gives them little information for improvement.
-Comments from the teacher such as “great work,” “nice job,” and “Sally is a good student” may actually be counterproductive and interfere with the student’s ability to self assess.
