- nanis 5y ago> being accessible. Not really. In a real paper & pencil exam you take in the same room with your teacher, the teacher is available to answer clarifying questions. More than once, a question one of my students asked led me to realize that a multiple choice question might have more than one good answer or an essay question can be phrased better etc. The real time feedback is a learning opportunity for the teacher and the student: The goal of a test in a high school or college classroom is not measurement. It is a continuation of learning. I do not see how anything remotely close to that is possible when tests/grading are offloaded to Google forms.
- chromanoid 5y agoSo imagine this setting. You set up multiple learning stations / activity centres where students can independently learn on their own. These learning stations are analog and digital. They contain some tests that are mandatory and can be taken at any time by the students. To perform the tests the students go to one of maybe five workstations in secluded areas in the classroom that can be watched by the teacher. After each day the teacher can analyze the grading and can be reasonably sure nobody did cheat.
