The Continuing Professional Development world is an interesting one when it comes to assessment. A lot of our programs are optional and the ones that are mandatory do not have formal assessment or grades for students. I see that being the largest challenge with incorporating technology that supports student assessment. Our learners are simply not required to complete it. With that said, I think technology offers a lot of new interesting mediums that would be appealing to students. It also adds a level of convenience that our learner would appreciate. I\u2019m sure they would be much more likely to complete assessments if they were easily accessible, quick, and provide immediate feedback.<\/p>\n
One opportunity that I do see for us to use more technology to support student assessment is through online modules. Our department has been growing our on demand program offerings both internally and externally. I think we could use software like Articulate Storyline to build assessment right into our modules. Whether that is a few multiple choice questions throughout the module or a summative question at the end. I think we could utilize this technology to assess our learner and make modules more interactive.<\/p>\n
I would love to hear all of your thought on the matter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
