The document discusses the concepts of assessment and evaluation in e-learning. It defines assessment as focusing on judging student learning, while evaluation focuses on assessing course components and provider performance. The key difference is that assessment results can inform evaluation but not vice versa. It then provides examples of different assessment methods that can be used to evaluate specific learning objectives, such as essays to assess critical thinking, problem scenarios for problem-solving skills, and demonstrations or role plays for performing procedures. The goal of the assessment methods is to engender desired qualities in learners.
