About the Course

Are you a teacher in higher education wanting to get the best out of your students and assessments? Then on behalf of Risbo, Erasmus University Rotterdam, we would like to welcome you to this MOOC on Assessment in Higher Education. In this MOOC we will guide you through the different phases of preparing, creating and evaluating the assessments in your course. After participating in this MOOC, you will be able to: 1. Design an assessment that is constructively aligned (content, level, methods) with the course objectives and activities 2. Apply the quality criteria with respect to validity, reliability and transparency for construction of assessments and assessment items 3. Analyze the assessment output and results, assess the quality of the assessment and make decisions about students’ grades accordingly 4. Formulate future improvements for an assessment For the assignments, you will be working with your own teaching materials. For example you will create your own assessment plan for your course. Next to that you will become part of a learning community with teachers from all over the world. We are offering you instructional videos, interviews, animations and checklists. In addition to these, there will be course activities, such as assessments, and discussion prompts. By participating in this MOOC, you will find answers to the following questions: • What is the role of assessment? • How can you select the right methods of assessment for your course? • What is constructive alignment? • How can an assessment plan and matrix help you in the construction of assessments? • Is it possible to make an absolute reliable and valid assessment? • How can the formulation of good assessment questions have an impact on that? • What is the role of feedback? • How can rubrics help with providing feedback? • What are the things to consider when performing an exam or item analysis? What aspects should you look out for? • How do you draw conclusions from an exam analysis and make plans for future improvements? • If good students fail on certain questions, what does this say about the question… or about your teaching? Are you ready for enhancing your teaching skills? Then take this journey with us....

There was a lot of really good information in the course that has me rethinking how assessments are structured and graded in my department. I plan to recommend the course to all of my faculty.

Very intriguing 5 weeks indeed. You need to literally spend at least 4 hours a day, otherwise, you will be staring at a backlog. Personal experience, but I managed to pass. Happy for that!!

Good course but at times too theoretical. It would be better to have a single main instructor to guides us through the whole course.

I enjoyed the material and all of the different techniques used to go through this course. It was a new experience for me. I felt I had learned a lot during the session. It was a lot of work into the course, but that was good because it did help me learn. What I did not like about the course is the way it was assessed by peers. The reason for this is, I feel that the peers did not fully read my assignments as I was told I was missing information. I had doubled checked and all the information was there, but it is on a second page, so if they do not see it, they just gave me a 0, with my only feedback being that I did not complete the assignment.... Part of this course was learning about how to provide constructive feedback, but if they do not look at the whole assignment, they are not able to provide the constructive feedback that would benefit me. Therefore, the peer assessment did not work very well in my case.
