Presented by Dr. Melinda E. Lull, Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Wegmans School of Pharmacy, St. John Fisher College
While students are able to view their own assessment data and longitudinal reports from ExamSoft, they can easily become lost in a sea of numbers and categories. In order to best benefit student performance, students must understand both the interpretation of and the benefit from ExamSoft reports.

Psychometrics 201: Putting assessment data into actionExamSoft
Presented by: Dan Thompson, Sr. Manager of Education and Assessment, ExamSoft Worldwide
At the conclusion of each exam, a wealth of student assessment data is immediately available to faculty. The short term value of this data is evident - evaluate individual question performance. However, that’s only the beginning. Assessment data provides opportunities for in-depth analysis on course, curricular, and instructional method performance. Furthermore, specific performance data can be distributed to students to drive their self-assessment and focused study plans. This presentation addresses the process of using assessment data to make tangible changes to improve instructional and student outcomes.

Retiring Exam Questions? How to Use These Items in Formative AssessmentsExamSoft
Presented by: Dan Thompson, Manager of Instructional Design and Educational Technology, Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences
As semesters come and go, new exams are created and used items are retired, never to be used again. While moving on to new exam items due to poor performing statistics or to ensure exam security are sound practices, these retired items can still positively impact student learning. Retired summative assessment items can serve new purposes as formative assessment items that engage students with course content while preparing them for course exams. This presentation addresses the process of using retired exam items in creative ways to develop formative assessments to increase student self-awareness of their content knowledge and improve student retention.
Presented by Dr. Ashley Castleberry, Director of Assessment and Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Pharmacy.
Peer evaluation and grading can be a powerful teaching method. Learning occurs when student have to assess another student’s work because it forces them to analyze the finer nuances of the assignment in order to grade and provide effective feedback to a peer. This feature can be used to assess as well as teach. This session will explore how ExamSoft Rubrics can be used for peer grading and lessons learned when first implementing this type of assignment.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
2. OVERVIEW OF MODULE 2
• Outlining Expectations for Students
• Writing Objectives
• Student Engagement
• Assessments
• Crafting Discussion Board Questions
• Syllabus
• Rubrics
3. OUTLINING EXPECTATIONS FOR
STUDENTS
• EMAIL – When can students can expect to hear back from you
after emailing? A good rule of thumb is 24 hours.
• NETIQUETTE – Netiquette, or network etiquette, is concerned
with the "proper" way to communicate in an online environment.
Visit the eLearning Industry blog to read 10 Netiquette Tips.
• RUBRICS - Rubrics outline criteria required for students to
achieve certain grades and ensure objective and consistent
assessment.
4. OUTLINING EXPECTATIONS
FOR STUDENTS
• FAQ DISCUSSON BOARD - Post responses to frequent
questions in a discussion board for all learners to view.
• TIME REQUIREMENTS - Communicate up front how much
time is required weekly to complete the course modules.
5. LEARNING OBJECTIVE BEST
PRACTICES
• Do courses need them? Why are they important?
• Objectives ensure learning is focused so that students have
a sense of purpose and know what is expected.
• Create measurable learning objectives based on skills your
students need upon completing your course.
6. MORE ON LEARNING
OBJECTIVE BEST PRACTICES
• Use action verbs to define objectives (e.g., list, define,
analyze, create, and design).
• Example: Identify 3 characteristics of public goods
and how they differ from private goods.
• Use this Bloom's Taxonomy Reference Page for more
action verbs: http://bit.ly/2d9x6fW
7. STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
BEST PRACTICES
In the asynchronous classroom, it can be challenging to gauge student
reaction to lessons. Here are a few ways to check …
• Are your students informed about their course requirements and
always know what will be happening next?
• Do students know who you are? Do they feel that you are
knowledgeable and approachable?
• Do students expect constructive criticism on their work, but also
positive reinforcement when they do well?
8. MORE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
BEST PRACTICES
• Are students regularly engaging with their classmates through
discussions and other coursework, which allows them to develop
relationships with one another?
• Are you, the instructor, providing regular and timely feedback on
assignments?
• Are you regularly engaging in discussions?
9. STUDENT ASSESSMENTS
• Blackboard (eCollege) provides many ways to assess student
learning online. Here are just a few testing options:
Essay
Fill in the Blank
Hot Spot
Jumbled Sentence
Opinion Scale
Matching
Multiple Choice
Ordering
Short Answer
True/False
Survey
10. ASSESSMENT BEST
PRACTICES
Balanced feedback goes far in setting expectations for
students, especially with papers and projects.
A few best practices:
• Offer praise. By commending students, we show respect for
their efforts and allow them to recognize the good aspects
of their papers.
• Provide specific feedback and a way for the student to
correct the problem. This helps prevent the same errors in
the future.
11. DISCUSSION BOARDS
• Discussion boards are one of the most commonly used tools
in online learning.
• The use of discussion boards helps to build community and
promotes engagement through student-to-student and
student-to-instructor interaction.
• Furthermore, frequent participation in discussion board
activities helps in the development of critical thinking and
writing skills.
12. DISCUSSION BOARD BEST
PRACTICES
• Model Socratic-type probing and follow-up questions.
• Why do you think that?
• What is your reasoning?
• Is there an alternative strategy?
• Ask clarifying questions that encourage students to think
about what they know and don't know.
• For adult learners, link discussions to their work experiences
and needs
13. SYLLABUS
• A standard TAMU Law School Syllabus has been provided for
you.
• Personalize your syllabus according to your course.
• A few key areas to consider modifying:
• Your contact information
• A course description
• Student learning outcomes
• Textbooks
• Additional course readings
• Exams, projects, discussions,
assignments, etc.)
• Late work policy
• Instructor expectations
• Course and institutional policies
• Prerequisite knowledge
• Modules and course schedule
14. RUBRICS
• Rubrics are a set of criteria that are used to define various
levels of student performance.
• A rubric may be used to score an assessment, a paper, or
grade a project.
• Rubrics are especially valuable in helping to grade subjective
types of testing.
15. RUBRIC BEST PRACTICES
• For instructors, using rubrics keeps the grading process
consistent.
• Rubrics also help to reduce the subjectivity inherent in
grading subjective assessments.
• Rubrics can also help to speed up the grading process by
keeping the grader on task.
16. RUBRIC RESOURCES
• The following links provide rubric examples.
• Law Case Study Rubric
• APA Style Grading Rubric
• Case Brief Rubric
• Rubric for Creating Rubrics
