Assessment/Evaluation
LSTE 7325
Assessment is significant in educational design, as it allows you to evaluate learner progress and knowledge gain, instructor effectiveness, and/or program quality. Knowing your current state in these aspects gives you the opportunity to reflect and then direct your plans and actions for improvement. I see evaluation as a continual process in education, always allowing for further refinement and enhancement of instruction and educational design.
A well-designed assessment directly relates to the goals, curricular aims, content standards, and/or performance objectives involved; and is reliable, valid, and without potential bias. Below you can see some of the work I have completed in the LSTE program in specific regard to assessment. Additionally, I have created assessment sections in many of my instructional design products presented in this portfolio.

Organizing Types of Educational Assessment
LSTE 7325
Many types of educational assessment exist, though, one type is not necessarily superior to another. Assessment should be chosen and created based on the intended purpose, instructional objectives, and kinds of results desired. I created the map below to show the relationships between various assessment types, and the corresponding paper explains why I chose this particular organization. (Click on map below to view paper.)
Assessment Plan
LSTE 7325
This is a finalized plan for the design of an assessment for museum public education programs (combination of performance and portfolio). I created it for LSTE 7325, basing it on my educational program development internship experience.
Quality Assessment:
Building Reliability and Validity While Diminishing Bias
LSTE 7325
In this paper I explain the concepts of reliability, validity, and bias in assessment; how to determine their presence/absence; and how to use this information to develop high quality assessments (both in general, and in regard to my the Mini Assessment Plan presented above).
