ISD Project: Plan the Assessments

Create a criterion-referenced assessment for each objective. The planned assessments should accurately assess the behavior of outlined in the objectives and provide the conditions stated in the objectives. As Johnson and Johnson (2002) suggest the assessment should be meaningful; that is, not only align with the objective, but also relevant to the learner, instructional content, and expected outcome. Additionally, best practices for the online or mobile environment should be taken into consideration. Only one assessment item is required to assess each objective; however, multiple assessments are also acceptable. And, one assessment may also assess several objectives. See Horton text on tests for some assessment ideas. A storyboard or course planning chart that clearly demonstrates how the objectives and assessments are aligned should be created.
