Design and develop assessment strategies in online instructional environments.
Online instruction continues to thrive, but instructors and designers often struggle to develop effective forms of online assessment that are relevant and accurately measure learning. How can we construct successful assessment strategies and frameworks that are specifically designed for online learning environments? How can instructors ensure that their assessments are aligned with course objectives, activities, and assignments? What technologies can be implemented to support the various assessment options?
