There exist a variety of alternative assessment strategies to assess student assignments and activities: • essays (submitted by email or discussion posting) • reports • research projects • case studies • online threaded discussions (students answer assigned questions and comment on others’ posts) • self-assessment (via instant feedback quizzes and tests) • presentations (student production of PowerPoint presentations or Web pages) • writing (chapter summaries, literature reviews and other writing) • group projects, collaborative writing • Web logs (students record and reflect on their activities, questions, and outcomes online. Web logs are also called online/electronic journals. See examples: edublogs, Motime, Blogger, LiveJournal) • e-portfolios (assess students online deliverables) • student peer review (see procedures and design) Source: Modified from University of Texas TeleCampus.
