How much do you know about writing good test questions?

How much do you know about writing good test questions?

The quiz is based on research literature including Criterion-referenced Test Development by Sharon Shrock and Bill Coscarelli and Validating Multiple-Choice Tests Items by Thomas M. Haladyna. So the guidelines it offers relate to criterion-referenced rather than norm-referenced score interpretations. Different domains might require different approaches. We regard resources like this quiz as a way of contributing to the ongoing process of learning about assessment. In that spirit, we welcome your suggestions and would be happy to modify our current learning resources and/or create new ones to address the needs of other domains.

Distance Music Course with the help of Moodle

Music is probably the last subject one would expected to encounter in a distance education course. However, some progressive music teachers have introduced distance music education courses in all levels of education.

The purpose of my study is to research, design, develop, and evaluate the conversion of Music Technology II, a face-to-face music course, that College of Musical Arts at Bowling Green State University, offers to undergraduate and graduate students into an online format.


Open source software such as Jing, YouTube, Flash player, and Slideshare were used. To achieve the best possible interactivity and effectiveness in the Music Technology II, web-based course, Moodle Learning Management System was used. In addition, Robert Gagne’s nine events of instruction, and John Dewey’s education progressivism were applied to the web-based course.

At last, the analysis revealed that distance music courses are effective when they have been carefully planned and are student-centered. The proposed format of the Music Technology II course is the hybrid format.
