Activity - Assessment Planning Matrix
Using the scenario your group selected, create a planning matrix that identifies the assessment needs. This matrix will identify learners and create a framework for how you develop your assessment plan. This is the first step in assessment planning. Your matrix should be approximately one page and should:
Identify learner needs.
Identify learning goals.
Identify appropriate modalities for assessment.
Once you have identified these key pieces, provide a 1-2 sentence summary of the purpose and value they bring to the final assessment. How will the assessment plan inform authentic learning?
Introduction
Your group will serve as an assessment team that is tasked with developing an assessment plan for either a corporate training program or a college. Your team will select one of the scenarios below and will develop your assessment plan based on that scenario.
Scenarios
Option 1: Corporate Training
The company has been experiencing a higher than usual attrition rate in the first month after new hire onboarding. Managers are expressing frustration because employees are not able to perform basic job functions immediately following the onboarding process, causing loss of productivity for the line of business (LOB). The current outline for onboarding consists of the following:
Introduction to company history/culture.
Business-specific terminology.
Meet your manager (30-minute session for relationship building and LOB specific questions).
Overview of a typical workday for the job.
Proprietary software used.
How to access additional training/resources.
HR benefits, attendance, etc.
Two tests: a "midterm" halfway through the two weeks of training and a final assessment.
Industry-/OSHA-required compliance training.
Roleplaying is used in conjunction with lectures throughout the two weeks.
Demographics: Approximately 80% of the new hires are for entry-level positions, generally in the age range of 22-30. Most have either an associate degree or are still in school working on their four-year degree. The other 20% are generally older (35-45) with some industry experience.
