Course Description

Risbo Erasmus University Rotterdam is offering a MOOC called Assessment in Higher Education, which aims to help educators optimize student learning and assessment. The course covers various aspects of assessment, including creating assessments that align with course objectives, adhering to quality standards for validity and reliability, evaluating assessment results, and making future improvements. Participants will use their own teaching materials and create their own assessment plans. They will also have the opportunity to join an international learning community consisting of teachers from around the world. The MOOC provides a range of resources such as instructional videos, interviews, animated clips, and checklists, as well as course activities like discussions and assessments. The course addresses important questions related to assessment, such as the role of assessment in education, methods for assessing course performance, the concept of constructive alignment, the use of assessment matrices and plans, the challenges of reliable and valid assessments, the impact of good assessment questions, the role of feedback, the benefits of using rubrics for giving feedback, the importance of exam items, and the analysis of exams for future improvements. In addition to assessment-related topics, the MOOC also covers teacher development and professional growth. By participating in this MOOC, educators can enhance their teaching abilities and gain valuable insights into effective assessment practices in higher education.
