Constructing multiple-choice (MC) questions can be a challenging task. How do you make sure your assessment will be both reliable and valid?
In this MicroLab you will learn how to apply the quality criteria for MC questions to ensure the reliability and validity. This MicroLab has a blended format and consists of online preparation and a workshop. For example, one of the preparation assignments is reviewing example MC questions, which you will discuss with your peers in the workshop. After completing this Microlab you will have created or improved your own multiple-choice exam.
Goals/competencies
After following this MicroLab you will be able to:
- Construct MC exams following the three quality criteria
