Objective assessments are forms of questioning which leads to a single correct answer. The most popular objective question types usually include true/false answers, multiple choice, multiple-response and matching questions. However, paper-pencil tests are not the only types of objective assessments available to evaluate student knowledge.
Online assessments such as E-assessments are becoming a popular form of objective evaluation. An area of E-assessment that has seen substantial growth in recent years is the use of hand held student response devices. With these, teachers can carry out whole group assessments, polls and surveys quickly and easily. In many school classrooms these devices may also be used in combination with an interactive whiteboard.
Interactive software or websites, such as 24 x 7 Guru.com, can administer quizzes and give instant, usually fun, right-wrong feedback and perhaps explanations of right answers. Many of these programs can be used at both school and home.
Chaundra, nice blog. I have never tried Guru.com but it looks like it is a great assessment tool. I think I will try it when I get back from break. I like using interactive software as much as possible too. Online assessments are great for instant feedback. I use them in typing lessons sometimes. Powertyping.com is a great resource for teaching kids to type faster, etc. Thanks for the web links.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. I like the online quizes too. My school uses 2 sites, Orchard and Study Island. I am doing a lot of math tutoring in my lab, and the instant feedback really helps me see what areas I need to address.
ReplyDeleteFascinating, thanks for posting this link!
