What can result from effective use of assessments in OpenSesame courses?

Effective use of assessments in OpenSesame courses can lead to improved course completion rates, as these assessments are designed to gauge understanding and reinforce learning. When assessments are integrated thoughtfully, they help learners engage with the material, providing them with opportunities to apply their knowledge, receive immediate feedback, and identify areas for improvement. This active learning process not only motivates learners but also enhances retention of information, making it more likely that they will complete the course.

Moreover, assessments can help instructors evaluate the effectiveness of the course content and instructional methods. This feedback loop allows for ongoing improvements and adaptations, which contribute to a positive learning experience and encourage learners to finish the course.

In contrast, higher user fees or unpopular content that may lead to obsolescence is not a direct result of effective assessments, nor does effective assessment result in a lesser focus on industry standards. Instead, the focus remains on aligning learning objectives with industry needs, ensuring that assessments are relevant and beneficial to learners.
