Testing: Writing Multiple Choice Questions

Tests. Ugh. Do I really need to test my learners? Isn’t it obvious that my instruction will lead to learning? Isn’t testing a waste of time? These are all too common reactions to the idea of testing. Today, we have an expert in the field of educational assessments, Greg Chung, Ph.D. who is the Associate Director of Technology and Research Innovation at UCLA’s Center for Research, Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST). Greg is here to teach us some basics about writing multiple choice questions.
