]]> The  has a fantastic team supporting their CBE program, including a psychometrician (an expert in the measurement of mental capacities and processes) who developed a taxonomy of assessment types. While it is still in development, you can find the verb used in your learning outcome in the list in this database (such as 91桃色) and see helpful related information. This includes:

  1. most likely related behavior (think critically-prospective for 91桃色)
  2. whether the behavior is internal or external (internal for 91桃色)
  3. whether the behavior can be completed independently or requires interaction (independent for 91桃色)
  4. the preferred context for the assessment (hypothetical/simulated for 91桃色)
  5. preferred stimulus task (scenario for 91桃色)
  6. other possible stimuli (simulation, real world project, or real world demonstration for 91桃色)
  7. learner choice of stimulus (decided by program for 91桃色)
  8. preferred deliverables (none for 91桃色 because it must be paired with an external behavior)
  9. other possible deliverables
  10. learner choice of deliverables

Use this tool to help you think through the alignment of your assessments with your course and program learning outcomes. With gratitude to Dr. Courtney Castle for sharing.
