OL 2200.01 Assessment of Online Learners, Feb2024

This course goes deeper into the topic of assessing student learning than OL 2000 did. The higher education community is increasingly committed to creating learning-centered environments in which faculty are actively involved in helping students succeed. So assessment of student learning is essential in understanding and contributing to their academic achievement. In this course, we extend beyond traditional ways of assessing student work, such as tests and quizzes, and explore several other assessment types.

Course Objectives

After taking this course, instructors will have a framework for

• engaging students in ongoing assessment activities to improve learning outcomes,
• varying assessment strategies to more accurately evaluate learning,

• leveraging technology to assess and promote learning.
