Assessment+of+Learning+(I)

__Section V: Assessment of learning __ Instructional Objectives: To desire to integrate cloud computing into their classrooms and to gain the skills to apply cloud based computing to enhance instruction. “Evaluating learning is essential in the instructional design process” (Morrison et al, p.272). __Pre-assessment strategies (before learning)__
 * Team Member I: Project Leader **

“A pretest is designed to heighten the student’s awareness of the content by giving cues to the key points. These cues will help the learner identify and focus on the main ideas in the unit of instruction” (Morrison et al, p. 177).

__Formative assessment strategies (during learning)__
 * Questionnaire asking how many people integrate cloud computing in their classroom
 * Discuss how they are using cloud computing to enhance instruction
 * Discuss when it’s appropriate to use cloud computing

Formative evaluations strengthen or improve the object being evaluated -- they help form it by examining the delivery of the program or technology, the quality of its implementation, and the assessment of the organizational context, personnel, procedures, inputs, and so on (Trochim, W.M.K.,2006).

__Summative assessment (after learning)__
 * Brainstorming
 * Discussion of benefits of incorporating cloud computing in the classroom
 * Graphic organizer
 * List advantages of YouTube over PowerPoint

“Summative evaluation is directed toward measuring the degree to which the major outcomes are attained by the end of the course” (Morrison et al, p.275)


 * Set up a group wiki
 * Incorporate a link within the wiki to the YouTube video
 * Post reflections onto the group wiki
 * Discuss how likely they are to incorporate cloud computing into their instruction
