Designing Online Assessments - Tips from CTLE
(
繁體中文
)
With
online learning
now being implemented at the University of Macau, committed teachers are holding classes online with UMMoodle and
Zoom
. This blog post features some of our colleagues’ tips and best practices. Let’s see what has worked well to support teaching and learning of different disciplines in an online environment.
Following a recent online meet-up wherein
colleagues shared their experience, concerns and best practices of online assessments
, CTLE wishes to share with you tips on designing online assessments.
Instructors who would like to conduct online exams are encouraged to create assessments in UMMoodle.
Quiz
activity in UMMoodle – Quiz questions which are machine-marked can include:
short-answer
questions,
multiple-choice
questions, and
Embedded Answers (
cloze
)
questions. [Cloze questions consist of a passage of text that has various answers embedded within it, including multiple-choice, short answers, and numerical answers.]
Assignment
activity in UMMoodle – Essays and open-book exams can be uploaded to an Assignment activity in UMMoodle, one which has a
Veriguide
feature enabled.
The following strategies can help maintain UM’s
academic rules and regulations
.
Promote academic integrity as a serious matter. Encourage students to be honest, during online classes, before an exam, and in the online assessment.
Develop assessment questions that are more relevant to the course objectives or individuals and for which answers cannot be easily shared.
Try to monitor the integrity of online exams, which can be done using tools in UMMoodle.
How to set up Quizzes and Assignments in UMMoodle
ICTO provides technical support to all teachers and students. Here are guides demonstrating how to set up quizzes and assignments in UMMoodle.

If you plan to
set up a Quiz
in UMMoodle, there are settings that can be adjusted to reduce opportunities for cheating and collusion. Here are a few
settings for quizzes
in UMMoodle which should be enabled:
Set a
time limit
Set an opening/closing date time
Quiz layout: new question every page
Shuffle answers of multiple-choice questions
How questions behave: deferred feedback
Shuffle questions within the quiz
Note: Students may not be familiar with quizzes in UMMoodle, and it is important to prepare students for an online exam by giving them an opportunity to a
trial
quiz. After students complete a trial quiz in UMMoodle, teachers should be prepared to provide their students with additional guidance, if needed, on how to successfully complete an online exam.
If you want to
set up an
Assignment
in UMMoodle, here are a few settings that should be noted:
Set availability and the due date
Require one file to be uploaded
Specify filetype, e.g., .doc and .docx
Enable
Verigude
, for TA, not for student
Feedback: optional, Annotate PDF and Feedback files
Require students
check
submission statement
Optional: grading method:
rubric
