[edit] Course Content
Assessment, rather than teaching, has a major influence on students’ learning. It directs attention to what is important and it has a powerful effect on what students do and how they do it. Still assessment focuses little on the processes of learning and on how students will learn after the points of assessment. There has been many innovations in assessment such as portfolio assessment, self- and peer assessment, authentic assessment and so on. Still to date there has been little effort to bring these together around the major purpose of equipping students to learn for the long term. Students also need to develop their own repertoire of assessment related practices that they will be able to use when confronted with learning challenges throughout their working lives. (Boud & Falchikov 2007, 5-7).
New Assessment Methods concentrates to learner-centred view of assessment and to the use of social media in assessment. Course offers exciting new opportunities for learning with social media and pulls learners into interaction and from knowledge-receiving students into active, knowledge-making students. Use of wiki and process writing makes learning process transparent and learning output is a sustainable wiki-article. Future courses can continue working with this New Assessment Methods wiki.
In addition the course offers oportunity for geting involved in action research. It is actually a part of teacher' daily activities when searching solutions to everyday problems or trying to improve students' acheivments. The process of action research assists educators in identifing areas where improvement is needed, documenting the steps to be taken for analyzing what can be changed, and making decisions that can lead to desired outcomes. The best compendiums created within the course will be presented as a deliverable in the E-Jump 2.0. project.
