Learner Assessment

Assessment Planning

Assessment Planning is often neglected or ignored in the instructional design process but it is probably the most important aspect. In order to ensure the right concepts are included (and not over- represented) in an assessment, designers should facilitate assessment planning immediately after learning objectives are identified. Developing an assessment plan will ensure the most essential concepts are assessed and will ensure alignment between training and assessment.

Learner Assessments

Using learning objectives, job analysis information, and policies, I create assessment items to measure learner achievement.
