Patti Shank is an expert at assessments and writing great multiple-choice questions. She joined us to help us all get a little bit better at writing these assessment types.
I do not think any of us will ever look at our multiple choice questions the same way again. It was a fun and fascinating conversation that covered a lot of ground but also left a lot of room for further study. You can buy her book here.
"Multiple-choice questions are hard to write well. Too many multiple-choice questions measure recall of course content rather than achievement of (well-written) learning objectives! Poorly chosen and written multiple-choice questions damage assessment validity." - Patti Shank
