About the Course

Are you a teacher in higher education wanting to get the best out of your students and assessments? Then on behalf of Risbo, Erasmus University Rotterdam, we would like to welcome you to this MOOC on Assessment in Higher Education. In this MOOC we will guide you through the different phases of preparing, creating and evaluating the assessments in your course. After participating in this MOOC, you will be able to: 1. Design an assessment that is constructively aligned (content, level, methods) with the course objectives and activities 2. Apply the quality criteria with respect to validity, reliability and transparency for construction of assessments and assessment items 3. Analyze the assessment output and results, assess the quality of the assessment and make decisions about students’ grades accordingly 4. Formulate future improvements for an assessment For the assignments, you will be working with your own teaching materials. For example you will create your own assessment plan for your course. Next to that you will become part of a learning community with teachers from all over the world. We are offering you instructional videos, interviews, animations and checklists. In addition to these, there will be course activities, such as assessments, and discussion prompts. By participating in this MOOC, you will find answers to the following questions: • What is the role of assessment? • How can you select the right methods of assessment for your course? • What is constructive alignment? • How can an assessment plan and matrix help you in the construction of assessments? • Is it possible to make an absolute reliable and valid assessment? • How can the formulation of good assessment questions have an impact on that? • What is the role of feedback? • How can rubrics help with providing feedback? • What are the things to consider when performing an exam or item analysis? What aspects should you look out for? • How do you draw conclusions from an exam analysis and make plans for future improvements? • If good students fail on certain questions, what does this say about the question… or about your teaching? Are you ready for enhancing your teaching skills? Then take this journey with us....

There was a lot of really good information in the course that has me rethinking how assessments are structured and graded in my department. I plan to recommend the course to all of my faculty.

Very intriguing 5 weeks indeed. You need to literally spend at least 4 hours a day, otherwise, you will be staring at a backlog. Personal experience, but I managed to pass. Happy for that!!

The course was sufficiently challenging, very well structured. The concept of explanation as well as perspectives of the teachers and students added a very interesting angle to the course. One small detail, when I posted a question in the discussion forum, I didn't get an answer from a TA or a course administrator or instructor.

This was the most helpful course that I have done so far in Coursera. It was the most applicable to my professional practice. I appreciate the time and effort that Risbo have put into this MOOC to make it so useful. In particular, I got a lot out of the many interviews (both students and staff of Erasmus University).

I have learned many new concepts that will help me get ahead in my profession. But most importantly, I will be able to assess my students fairly and clearly. This has been my concern for so long and I had not had the proper orientation in the matter before.

I'm very thankful.

The course was interesting in the way it was presented and useful to the extent that it made me reconsider the method of assessing my students to make the evaluation more valid, reliable, and transparent.

I can not find words to thank you. May God bless you guys.
