“IMMEX Workshop: Technology Based
Assessments” The IMMEX system (www.immex.ucla.edu ) is a web based
assessment tool for teachers and students. Students are presented with a
case-based, open-ended problem which cannot be solved until students choose
more information from within the problem space. The IMMEX system not only
records whether the students solve the problem successfully, but also tracks
how students solve the problems. This information can be used to diagnose
student difficulties in problem solving and allows the teacher to give
specific feedback related to the individual student. This workshop will allow
attendees to explore and use the IMMEX system and show how to use the various
assessment tools. |
