What are the pros and cons of giving online quizzes? Why would you want to use online assessments in the first place? With the increasing use of online learning systems such as WebCT, course instructors now have many more options in how they deliver course materials to their students, including online quizzes and assignments. While there are many positive incentives to using online assessments, there are also some potential snags you may not have considered.

To help explore these issues, a panel of UCSF faculty and instructional technology staff discussed their real-world experiences using online assessments with actual students in a variety of settings. During the presentations, we learned how faculty are using online assessments to support instruction at UCSF, including what has worked well and what has not. Panel members also discussed the problems they experienced and how they overcame them. The entire presentation lasts 1 hour, 40 minutes.
