The type of assessment in a course often depends on:
- curriculum document statements
- learning outcomes
- subject content and course design
WebCT provides a variety of opportunities for assessment to be presented online. You may find self-tests (review tests) built into the learning materials.
The instructor may use email for submitting answers.
The bulletin board (forum) may be used for discussing case studies.
Research papers may be submitted through the assignment dropbox.
You may have to make an online presentation.
Or you may have a quiz. A quiz can be:
- set to be taken on a certain date
- can be timed
- have a limited number of attempts
- have multiple choice, short, matching or paragraph answers
- be marked automatically by the computer or by the instructor
- have results automatically sent to a database
Clicking on the Quiz link will take you to the quiz homepage. For each quiz, you will be given detailed instructions on how to proceed.
Key Points for Taking Quizzes
- Remember to click the "Save answer" button after each question.
- Remember to click the "Finish" button when you are done with the quiz.
Do not take a quiz until you have read all of the instructions!
