Innovative Assessments (ED502-4-M-AI) ASYNC Master Folder

Objective: To discuss the significance of reliability and validity in the context of assessment evaluation.

Instructions for Asynchronous Learners on Moodle:

1. Preparation:

   • Spend 10-15 minutes reading about the concepts of reliability and validity in assessment. You can use course materials, textbooks, or reliable online sources.
   • Reflect on your own experiences with assessments. Think about a time when you felt an assessment was either reliable, valid, both, or neither.

2. Discussion Post:

   • Navigate to the "Discussion Forum" section on Moodle.
   • Create a new discussion post with the title: "My Thoughts on Reliability and Validity".
   • In your post:
     • Briefly define reliability and validity in your own words.
     • Share your personal experience with an assessment, mentioning whether you felt it was reliable, valid, both, or neither.
     • Explain why you felt that way about the assessment.
     • Pose a question to your peers related to reliability and validity to spark further discussion.

3. Engage with Peers:

   • Over the next week, read at least three posts from your classmates.
   • Respond to at least two of them, providing feedback, sharing your own insights, or answering the questions they posed.
   • Remember to be respectful and constructive in your responses.

4. Reflection:

   • After participating in the discussion, take a moment to reflect on what you've learned from your peers.
   • Consider how you can apply this understanding of reliability and validity in future assessments, whether you're taking them or creating them.
