The role of assessment in Learning Design

By Jaroslava Mikulecka, University of Hradec Kralove

I really wish I hadn't attended this. The abstract said 'an emphasis on assessment'. The
emphasis was in fact on 'please appreciate our city's old architecture but we have modern
university buildings for 5 minutes, followed by lots of slides on learning objects, learning
design, learning units and XML - oh, the pain. With 2 minutes to go, a slide pops up 'how we
integrated assessment in the database module'. Hurrah! 100point Blackboard assessment made
up of 4 Blackboard tests using 3 different question types. People couldn't get out of the
room fast enough.

hey, rapunzel! glad to see you've escaped from your lofty turret and made it to the conference.

not surprised you were disappointed with this, as i believe you'd also attended the sell-out, world-renowned session by mr hepplestone on the same day.

alternative title? "czech, please!"

love the title, liz shows her frustrated sun headline writer talents once again.

modesty clearly forbids stuart posting about his own session - once again pulling a 100+ crowd, current word on the street:
"Stuart Hepplestone, global e-assessment guru"
