Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Effective teaching depends upon 1) how clearly the students understand what they are supposed to learn and 2) how accurately that learning can be measured. While a lot of research in assessment is too specialized, or too basic to have much direct application to the online classroom, there are some well documented Authentic Assessment techniques and tools which have very direct implications for web-based learning and instructional design. Now updated for the latest versions of Blackboard, Moodle and Canvas, the Fourth Edition of this research based hands-on guide shows you how to use real-world tasks for online students with Web-based learning and assessment tools, lesson planning and curriculum mapping. Additional features include: • An Overview of Web-based Virtual Learning Environments • A How-to for Assessing Online Instructional Learning Objectives • Step-by-Step Guides for Developing Lesson Plans and Rubrics • Template Examples and Broad Lists of Current Online Resources • A Comprehensive Glossary and Annotated Bibliography
