Activity 11.2
Creating an Assessment
Step 1: Introducing the Assessing Projects Application
A variety of assessment tools can assist with learner assessment. Assessing
Projects, one of the Intel® Education online productivity tools, aids teachers in both
planning and creating effective assessments that align with the learning goals of their
ICT-enhanced projects. The Assessing Projects application supports teachers in
creating learner-centered assessments that assess the difficult-to-measure skills and
behaviors that are expressed in higher-order thinking.
The Assessing Projects application allows you to create three types of assessments:
Rubrics—Rubrics are assessments that have a trait or collection of traits with specific criteria that clearly define for both learner and teacher different levels of performance or product expectations.
Checklists—A checklist is a list of items, steps, or elements needed for a task that is checked off as completed. Checklists are used by teachers for observation and analysis of learner work and by the learners to monitor progress and self-assess.
- Scoring Guides—Scoring Guides are assessments that have points attached to them and are used by teachers to assign a grade and by learners to monitor progress and self-assess.
The Assessing Projects application provides access to a library of validated assessments. You can modify the assessments in the library to meet the needs of your particular project. The assessments can be printed or exported to a variety of formats.
