IO3 Self-Guidance Tool
Self-guidance tool on choosing an online assessment (EN + ES)


With the vast choice of available online assessment methods, it can be difficult to make a decision on which method is suitable for your pedagogical purpose and setting. Where to start first?
 
For this reason, the self-guidance tool will give you an initial guidance and inspiration for choosing best suited assessment methods for your pedagogical approach and setting. In total, the tool covers 13 online assessment methods, including less common methods such as simulation, case study and E-portfolio as well as possibilities for student empowerment (self- and peer-assessment).
 
The recommended assessment methods that result from answering the questions in the tool are described below the tool and a detailed overview of each online assessment methods is given (including suggestions for implementation and handling fraud, practice examples).
For a detailed overview of the different online assessment methods (incl. description, taxonomy levels and cohort size, suggestions for implementation and handling fraud, practice examples), download the following document:

The self-guidance tool might have recommended online assessment method(s) with the option “remote/on-campus”. The decision of how you want to carry out the assessment depends on the different individual factors that you have been introduced to at the beginning of this module. For example, the juridical situation at your institution, technical possibilities of your institution and for the students, personnel resources and room facilities (e.g. the bigger the cohort size, the better infrastructure and resources are needed).
Additionally, students with special needs or international students might require different treatments. Lastly, you can also consider if students from your cohort are going on Erasmus+ exchange or any other mobility scheme and might be already abroad during the assessment.
Checklist for Implementation
 
To support the organisational and technical implementation of your selected online assessment method(s), one comprehensive Checklist has been developed that can be used as general guidance. The Checklist addresses overarching issues that may be considered before and during the implementation and differentiates between formative and summative online assessment (remote and/or on campus).
