      As an instructor you really need to understand the content and how it can be taught in an online environemnt.

      Keeping the course and its resources up-to-date is also so important!

      There is a lot front-loading that needs to happen for students to do this effectively.
  • Students may have little exposure to different forms of assessment and so may lack the necessary skills and judgements to effectively manage self and peer assessments.

      I would argue that students also need practice using a rubric to measure against examples. A consensus should be reached within the class and discussions should be had around what the critera mean and examples of what it would look like.
  • specific
    • mcairney
       
      I love single point rubrics for more specific rubrics. I think they are much more clear about what students need. They have it or they don't.

      Not to mention the amount of instructional time we lose while administering more in-depth testing. If we are using up instructional time, we need to make sure that the results of the assessment are providing powerful data that will help us move teachers and students forward.
