The main objective of this presentation is to share and demonstrate how online instructors can design and transform exams in science courses from the paper-pencil format to online assessments that truly measure students' learning outcomes while ensuring academic integrity and meeting QM Standards.
In Engineering as in many other math and science disciplines, most exams need to assess students' mastery of knowledge and skills with calculation as well as problem solving, so exams made of mostly multiple-choice questions are not effective to measure learning outcomes. In order to design exams that truly measure the course and unit-level learning outcomes, instructors need to apply critical skills in utilizing the tools and functions available in their learning management systems and using the QM alignment principle relating to measurable learning objectives and effective assessments to ensure academic integrity and meet QM standards.
The presenter(s) will showcase how high-stake exams in science courses such as engineering courses can and should be designed to truly measure course and unit-level learning outcomes by using sets of calculations and question banks to ensure academic integrity.
