Reminder on content

Hey folks...

Just a reminder (although I am probably insulting everyone's intelligence here) - make sure you discuss the assessment theory stuff in your sections, not just talk about what's out there - I had a really good description of certain products going, but hadn't discussed advantages/disadvantages with regards to all the theory we've covered (eg i-clicker - anonymous, immediate feedback, etc.)

for sure mark. although, for my section on testing alot of the theory given by durkin is very shallow, it mostly in terms of how the questions are constructed!!!
I will incorparate what i can.

you can always talk about the limitations of using computers as testing agents because of the limited question types. Also which question types are good for which type of test.

If I remember right, that LTDI article said that most computer-based tests test only content knowledge - you could bring in the stuff from table of specifications, talk about the fact it is difficult to use it to test analysis and the other higher-order skills (I would think you are looking at knowledge, maybe some application only?).
