Title:
Creating Assessments that Get Results

Synopsis:

To be effective, they must be crafted properly and deployed at the most appropriate time. This session will cover three aspects of effective assessment: measuring knowledge, skills and attitudes through needs analysis and assessment techniques; delivering assessments securely; and writing sound test items and valid, reliable assessments.

Participants will learn

• To distinguish between different types of assessments and question
• To match assessment and question types to their most appropriate uses
• The basics of producing sound test items and valid, reliable assessments
• How to interpret assessment and question statistics
