Summary:Assessments aim to evaluate student attainment of learning outcomes by examining student performance either directly or indirectly. Blended courses can expand the means and methods by which teachers measure student learning outcomes by opening up the possibility of both onsite and online assessments. Designing assessments for a blended course means examining the learning outcomes, coming up with some assessment ideas, and then deciding between onsite or online. Assessments of physical activities, whether related to sports, crafts, patient or customer interactions, or lab procedures, may be easier onsite. Perhaps the most obvious benefit of conducting assessments onsite is the ease with which teachers can support the integrity of the assessment by directly monitoring students. Teachers can help students begin to do so by creating authentic assessments that are designed to solve a specific problem in a community. Formative assessments provide rich feedback critical in informing students of their own progress and improving learning.
