Course Overview

Students today are more comfortable with e-learning platforms than the traditional ones. Recently, there has been tremendous growth in online learning among students. This provides the facility of anytime-anywhere learning for the students. In this trend of massive open online courses and integration of ICT in teaching and learning, there has been a demand for improvisation in the assessment. 

Nowadays, students are in need of an assessment model that suits not only traditional learning but also emerging learning settings such as online learning, blended learning, virtual learning, flipped classrooms, and technology-enabled learning. The teachers of this generation need to know how to plan, construct, and execute the assessments suitable to test a particular subject. They need to have a grip over the infrastructure facilities required for the assessment. 

Therefore, there is a need for such a course that would make the teacher skilled in these aspects, eligible to take e-assessments. This course offers subject expert videos, interviews with technical experts, reading materials, and question-answer forums to clarify doubts each week. It consists of 2 to 3 modules, 1 quiz, and an assignment along with one final assessment and assignment.
