Rethinking Course Assessment: Creating Accountability with Web-Based Tools

Framework for E‐Learning Assessment in Dental Education: A Global Model for the Future

“…Other authors have justified the use of other models for the assessment of online learning. For example, Crippen suggested the use of the Stiggins model, which links assessment alternatives to achievement targets; 10 however, this model does not take into account students’ preferences in learning and previous knowledge and environments as the Entwistle model does.…”

“…Harasim previously explored this need, stating that as generic network tools have not been designed to support educational activities, early attempts to use them failed—thus, highlighting the need for models for virtual learning environments 9 . Furthermore, it is important to improve students’ learning without increasing the workload of staff, and correct learning and assessment tools in online learning become important to achieve this goal 10 . These new methods should permit appropriate comparisons between e‐learning and traditional teaching methods in terms of achieved learning efficacy and educational benefits, 11 and they must deal with complex online interactions such as simulation and 3D environments, which present a challenge and are the main reason for rethinking outcome assessments 1 , 12…”

Process-oriented e-learning architecture in supporting mastery learning

“…Recently, applying mastery learning in web based environment has been noticed. The web is ideal for implementing the mastery learning strategy (Crippen, 2003;Mclntosh and Sullivan, 2000). A few e-learning software packages, which support mastery learning such as Mastery Learning System, exists.…”
