About the Course

For several decades now, assessment has become an increasingly pressing educational priority. Teacher and school accountability systems
have come to be based on analysis of large-scale, standardized summative assessments. As a consequence, assessment now dominates most
conversations about reform, particularly as a measure of teacher and school accountability for learner performance. Behind the often heated
and at times ideologically gridlocked debate is a genuine challenge to address gaps in achievement between different demographically
identifiable groups of students. There is an urgent need to lift whole communities and cohorts of students out of cycles of un...

Supports students in rethinking norm-referenced standards for assessment, in comparison with mastery learning. Also introduces educational data mining and whole-program evaluation.

I enjoyed the course. It has a lot of useful information. I only wish that the rubric for the peer review is more specific to include the number of academic review to receive a certain number of points. The rubric only says, "Formal scholarly referencing and web links to a comprehensive range of sources" So for example, when I provided six to seven academic references, I received 15 points rather than 20. Also, the rubric does not require providing feedback when points are taken. So, most reviewers took points because they can, not because they have an academic reason. Honestly, if I am paying for the course, I would like to receive feedback to understand why points are taken. Providing feedback is essential to grow and is a factor in my decision to pay for a course.

The course provides a broad-brush overview of assessment. The course material is at the knowledge level, but many of the assignments ask for analysis. The assignment rubric was not viewable prior to posting the first assignment. I did not receive my first peer review, where I could actually view the rubric until I had already submitted 5 of the 7 assignments. The info on data analytics was enlightening. The final section, on program evaluation, was very generic and not specific to education. I could make the leap to see how it could be relevant, but since this was billed as a basic level course, I should not have had to make that leap. I was somewhat surprised that there was absolutely no reference to Kirkpatrick's four levels of educational evaluation. I did learn a few things I didn't know before, but I do not believe I developed any new skills.

I am rating 1 star due to the pathetic instructors of the course. Dr. J Greene is worst of them all. She is unable to figure out teleprompter from where she is just reading out stuff. Please appoint some good instructors, this is not expected from Coursera

There are so many things I've learned from this course. From week one to week four. there are so many crucial points that I think made me a better teacher. I"ve learned to make an evaluation that is effective and fitted to the goals I've created. What interest me most is the use of alternative assessment methods and the knowledge I gained about the digital or computer mediated feedback. As a whole I've learned a lot and since I am a nurse I could also apply some things that I've in teaching nursing students, my patient and maybe my grandchildren.
