How do we know what they know?

This is the final content module of the eLearning Course Design Workshop.This module will help you consider how you will assess your students to determine if they have mastered the learning objectives you set forth for the course. While the Assessment tool in WebCT just relates to exams and quizzes, there is a whole wide world of ways to assess your student's learning. From project based learning to service learning to using technology in creative expression, you can make sure students are learning in creative ways that will help them become masters of the content. You can also use the assessment results to further improve your course.

So what is next? Once you complete the activities for Module Nine, you will focus on perfecting your course. Review the UCOnline Course Quality rubric again looking for the places where your course needs improvement. Add discussions. Add content. While we encourage you to be creative and add challenging content, some of that "icing on the cake" may need to take a back seat while your finish developing the core of your course. You have about eight weeks until your course will be opened for peer review.

The remaining Module 10 is the peer review. We will assign your peer review partners at the beginning of August. So congratulations on nearly finishing the coursework. Now get busy finishing up that course!
