  13. Recommended Distance Education Assessment Plan • Outcomes Based: With Student and Student Constructed • Modified I/S Scheme: Student Weighting of Assignments or Multiple Assignments • Objective Tests – Knowledge/Comprehension-level Objectives • Projects and Portfolios with Rubrics – Analysis/Application Level Objectives

  14. Norm Referenced Assessment Criterion Referenced Assessment

  15. Presentation and Oral Assessment

  16. Combined Instructor/Student Determined Grading Schemes Option #1 – Contract Grading – Multiple Projects – More Projects = Higher Grade Option #2 – Project Weighting – Instructor Determines Projects & Student Assigns Weights to Projects Within Parameters Option #3 – Combinations
