Embedded Items
Guidelines and Assessment Rubric
This assignment represents a rather large departure from what we've been doing in that you will not be using the flash development environment to complete it. In addition, you will be creating your own monster so to speak. In an effort to get you some practice in writing embedded items, you will be writing out the embedded items for your final project.
You should pick the appropriate item type (matching or multiple choice). Matching is perfect for "parts of" kinds of information checks (such as testing knowledge about say different computer components on a motherboard), or "kinds of" information checks (such as categorizing types of novels). You don't have to do all matching or all multiple choice, rather align the item type to learning target (and don't stress out too much, there are lots of cases where either would be appropriate). As you write your items note the following guidelines:
You should have about 2-4 embedded items for your final project. If you find yourself writing fewer than this or many more than this you should check with me before submitting. If you want a suggested format for organizing your assignment, check on the next page.
