How to Write Effective Knowledge and Performance Assessments
Course Description
Quizzes, tests, exams, knowledge checks, challenges … by any name, assessments have been the cause of too many “bitten nails” and “chewed pencils”! Indeed, assessments (or “testing” if we are blatant about it) are an inevitable, but too often dreaded, part of learning…. not only for the student or participant, but for the instructional designers and trainers as well.
Yes…there’s plenty of “test anxiety” to go around! But, that’s about to change. With the right planning, guidelines, and tools, you can develop effective assessments that appropriately measure performance, build confidence all around, and make a positive impact on the business!
