End-User Assessment Design: Designing assessments for students, not auditors

17 August 2021
ONLINE

Save Flyer Share
Great assessment design involves achieving two key goals!

First, creating a resource that meets the relevant standards and second, writing a document that is easy for the student to use and understand.

The level of effort that a person must invest to use something - often referred to as ‘tension’ - is a reliable predictor of consumer satisfaction.  Too often in assessment design the need for the student to easily navigate and understand the document, is placed secondary to the importance of meeting the standards of the unit.

In this webinar, we will discuss how you can balance both the needs of the student and those of the auditor. Specifically, we will explore:

  • the importance of designing assessments with the end-user experience in mind.
  • how instructional design principles, like Cognitive Load Theory can be applied to assessment design and why they make a difference.
  • how to format your resources in a way that makes them easier to navigate.
This webinar is for those looking for ways of improving the assessment experience of their students through a range of design techniques. Fundamental assessment design relating to meeting the standards of the unit is not discussed. Instead, the webinar focuses on techniques including formatting and layout to improve the end-user experience.


Key topics covered within the webinar

  • Designing assessment with the end user experience in mind
  • How instructional design principles can be applied to assessment
  • Formatting your resources to make them easier to navigate
  • Practical examples in action and what to avoid
