Components of Professional Online Course Development and Delivery
Section 2.4- Develop Online Assignment Submission and Testing Besides the use of chat and discussion groups to evaluate the student’s understanding, two major components can be used to evaluate a student’s understanding and progress in the course: portfolios and tests.
However, since many students use a variety of different e-mail application software which may not be completely compatible with the instructor’s e-mail, instructors may receive illegible assignments, particularly with attachments. Therefore, to avoid these potential problems and to automate as much as possible the submission of assignments, WebCT’s communication tools are recommended. The alternative is that both faculty and student have access to SUU’s e-mail system.
Another online testing product is the quiz feature of Breeze Presentation. With its SCORM* compliance your student’s test results can be imported into WebCT’s Grade management tool. For further information about Breeze’s abilities contact the IMIC. Procedures for submitting assignments and testing must be clearly explained to online learners. Some online courses offer options for students based upon system capabilities or preference. Issues with online testing honesty have been addressed by every university. SUU has obtained a license to the Turnitin anti-plagiarism service. Contact the IMIC regarding this service. Additional information can be found at: http://www.suu.edu/pub/policies/ Results of the project have demonstrated the online courses project to be successful. A viable procedure for transferring traditional courses to online can be summarized as follows: design and implement the individual courses within the framework of a “system,” select courses which meet appropriate criteria, define and develop a presentation format for courses within a program, select user interface options and develop the student evaluation procedures.*SCORM = Sharable Content Object Reference Model Instructional Media Integration Centre / Southern Utah University © 2005, All rights reserved. |
