Abstract
The assessment of learning in large online courses such as Massive Online Open Courses, or MOOCs, requires tools that are valid, reliable, and can be automatically administered and scored. We have developed and assessed a tool called Knowledge Assembly for Learning and Assessment, or KNOWLA. The tool measures a student's knowledge in a particular subject by having her assemble a set of scrambled phrases into a logical order. Initial testing indicates that KNOWLA is reliable, and can be used to measure learning gains. KNOWLA also shows promise as a learning tool.
大规模在线开放课程(Massive online Open courses,简称MOOCs)等大型在线课程的学习评估需要有效、可靠、可以自动管理和评分的工具。我们开发并评估了一种名为“学习与评估知识汇编”(KNOWLA)的工具。该工具通过让学生将一组杂乱的短语按逻辑顺序组合起来,来衡量学生对某一特定学科的知识。初步测试表明KNOWLA是可靠的,可以用来衡量学习收益。KNOWLA也显示出作为学习工具的潜力。
