Instructions For Use

The "Assessment Matrix" tool will help you consider the most appropriate and feasible assessment strategy for each of the goals or objectives of your interactive multimedia program. (Assessment is different from evaluation in that assessment is focused on estimating student learning whereas evaluation is focused on the effectiveness and worth of programs or products.)
List your objectives on the vertical side of the matrix.
List the feasible assessment methods on the horizontal side of the matrix.
Consider each objective carefully and choose the most appropriate assessment method.
A sample matrix is displayed below.
