  13. Recommended Distance Education Assessment Plan • Outcomes Based: With Student and Student Constructed • Modified I/S Scheme: Student Weighting of Assignments or Multiple Assignments • Objective Tests – Knowledge/Comprehension-level Objectives • Projects and Portfolios with Rubrics – Analysis/Application Level Objectives

  14. Norm Referenced Assessment Criterion Referenced Assessment
