The NODE (http://node.on.ca) is pleased to announce the fourth event in the
technologies for learning series of open, Web-based forums.  "Assessment
Online: Testing and Evaluation of Student Learning" will run from Monday 20
April to Friday 1 May.

In previous tfl forums (see the forum archives at http://node.on.ca/tfl/forums
), educators and instructional designers from around the world have discussed
issues related to putting courses on the Web, promoting and sustaining
interactivity in these courses, and the collaborative nature of online
learning and work.  "Assessment Online" will explore methods and meaning in
the measurement of student learning in the contexts of Web-based courses,
online interactivity and collaborative work.

 Questions to be examined in the forum include:

* What are some considerations in choosing appropriate software tools for
Web-based testing?
* How might assessment contribute to continuous learning and feedback?
* How do traditional testing methods work over the Web?  Should traditional,
static assessment methods be replaced with ongoing assessment?
* How should we assess participation in online discussions and group projects?
* What are some evolving procedures for security and authentication?

Beginning 20 April, join your colleagues and hosts at the NODE for "Assessment
Online: Testing and Evaluation of Student Learning", at
http://node.on.ca/tfl/forums/ .  "Assessment Online" will be moderated by Tony
Di Petta of the Faculty of Education at Brock University.  This forum is open
to all and free of charge.
