The goal of this workshop is for participants to understand the steps involved in designing an effective TBL module relevant to their fields of instruction.

Evaluating Multiple Choice Questions for Readiness Assurance Tests and Application Activities
Presenters: Cortny Williams – University of Western States

Application activities will support participants in evaluating the quality, cognitive level, and place-of- best-fit for selected MCQs; and provide practice in creating MCQs for their courses. By the end of the workshop, attendees will be able to evaluate the quality, the cognitive level, and place-of-best-fit (in RATs and Application Activities) for MCQs and create MCQs for their courses.
