Reply To: Remote Tests & Assessments

[Rob Lucas]

Hi Elizabeth,

Yes, Sakai is the primary assessment tool. Some instructors are using the Sakai Test and Quizzes tool to build assessments, especially for formats that can be graded automatically, like multiple choice. That tool can also accommodate free-response and essay type questions, but since those can’t be auto-graded, some professors are choosing just to administer those types of assessments via the uploading of Word documents. There have been some trainings/chats this week about assessment, and I imagine there will be more to come: https://keepteaching.unc.edu/training/

Are there specific issues or types of assessments that the SOM is dealing with? I can help brainstorm or schedule a consultation.
