Why shouldn't I miss this!

One of the advantages of objective assessment (e.g. multiple-choice questions) is that it reduces the marking load of a lecturer. If the objective assessment is used in an online format, these questions are automatically marked. However, a challenge that many lecturers experience is creating objective questions that test higher-order thinking skills. In this session, you will learn practical strategies to develop objective questions that test cognitive skills beyond recall and understanding. 


Purpose of the CPD opportunity:

Enable academic staff to create higher-order objective assessments in an online learning environment.


Outcomes of the CPD opportunity:

Upon completion of this webinar, participants will:

  • Using Bloom’s taxonomy to pitch questions on different cognitive levels;
  • How to create good quality multiple-choice questions;
  • Four practical strategies to create objective questions that test higher-order thinking skills.


Expectations/ Requirements:

Knowledge about the test and quizzes tool in eFundi.
