Abstract

In a course redesigned for web delivery, emphasis was placed in changing the assessment of student learning from a system of closed-book quizzes, mid-term examinations, and final exam to a system of open-book, weekly examinations and a semester-long paper development. The testing tool included rich item types as well as complete statistical information about test questions, information that was used to make adjustments to the course itself. It is shown that the integrity of the quiz database has not been compromised, over the two years it has been employed. We discuss the impact on learning of selected interventions and offer guidance for individuals that may be starting down this road.
