Information Science Publishing
"Online Assessment, Measurement and Evaluation: Emerging Practices" provides a view of the possibilities and challenges facing online educators and evaluators in the 21st Century. As technology evolves and online measurement and assessment follow, "Online Assessment, Measurement and Evaluation: Emerging Practices" uses established evaluation principles to employ new tools in evaluation systems that support stakeholders, clarify values and definitions of the evaluation methods, encourage thought about important questions, and refresh the readers' memories of contexts and backgrounds. This book also adheres to evaluation standards of feasibility, propriety, utility, and accuracy in order to help participants realize that technical issues and methods are only worthwhile when they are in the service of helping people make thoughtful choices. Chapters of this book include: (1) Measurement and Assessment Supporting Evaluation in Online Settings (David Williams); (2) The Context and Culture of the Web Research Environment (Paula Doherty); (3) Computer-Adaptive Online Exit Surveys (Najmuddin Shaik); (4) Qualitative Standards for E-Learning (Krista Breithaupt and Colla MacDonald); (5) Online Course-Ratings and the Personnel Evaluation Standards (Susan Clark, Christian Reiner and Trav Johnson); (6) Case Study (Christopher Sessums, Tracy Irani, Ricky Telg and T.
