  • Summary

  • Top Episode Takeaways:

    📝 Multiple choice questions are the most common item type, but they can be done well or poorly. A good multiple choice question takes effort to create but can measure a wide range of knowledge and skills.


    🎥 Technology-enhanced items (e.g., audio/video clips, drag-and-drop) can make assessments more engaging, but they should be used purposefully to measure relevant skills, not just for the "wow" factor.


    🚢 Performance-based assessments, such as simulations, are the gold standard for measuring practical skills but can be resource-intensive. The key is finding the right balance based on the content, resources, and scoring considerations.
