Discussion Question 1 week 9

"Assessing the Assessments"  Please respond to the following:

The fact that instructors have limited time between class preparation, administrative duties, and contacting students or parents creates a need to automate repetitive tasks when possible. Often we look to an LMS to provide automated grading of quizzes and assignments.

• Select one (1) LMS. Examine the pros and cons of automated grading within this LMS. Determine the main types of questions or assignments that can be auto graded within the LMS.
• Upload one (1) of your graded assignment of your choice to www.paperrater.com, follow the instructions and click “Get Report”. Analyze the report, and compare the report to your actual grade. Discuss the benefits and drawbacks for students and instructors using automated grading.
