Paper Abstract:
|
The paper proposes the student-centered, project-based assessment system as an alternative way of assessing complex
learning tasks. It analyzes and identifies some of the implementation challenges in applying this alternative assessment
system in the face-to-face (F2F) learning environments in order to explain how and in what ways such implementation
challenges influence the adoption of alternative and performance-based assessment systems in F2F courses. The paper
then argues that online learning is a better learning environment for assessing complex learning outcomes and for
implementing alternative and performance-based assessment systems. It proposes a design framework for applying such
an assessment system in online courses and demonstrates application of the model for designing, developing, and
implementing alternative assessment system in online learning environments using an online course as an example.
Finally, the paper reports some of the enablers and barriers in implementing the model and shares the lessons that
learned. |
