Assessment Online is
the award winning staff development course run by the Learning
Centre which covers both the practical and theoretical aspects of presenting
assessments
online. Delivered entirely online via My Dundee (Blackboard), the course
will examine issues surrounding effective online assessment selection and
design,
and
will introduce participants to a range of online assessment tools including
Questionmark Perception. The course is accredited by the School of Education,
Social Work and Community Education at 10 SCOTCAT (Level 11) and may be selected
as one of the third module electives for the Postgraduate Certificate in
Teaching in Higher Education (PgCertTHE).
Participants must be able to dedicate between 4-6 hours per
week to online study (depending on experience) with some additional
offline study in order to achieve the course learning outcomes.
Course materials and assignments are presented on a weekly basis
(typicaly
two mini-assignments per week).
