Read the information provided below on evaluating congruence in the design process.
Assignment:
Create an assessment for the learning goals completed in the previous module. Upload your assessment into the assignment submission area. Include your objectives and a brief narrative of how the assessment will occur. Remember to align the assessment with the learning objectives.
Evaluating Congruence in the Design Process
One of the most crucial aspects of the assessment phase of the design process is to be able to evaluate the congruence of the assessment against the objectives and analyses that have been performed. Remember that this is a systematic approach to instructional design, which means that every step in the process influences subsequent steps. As such, all of your skills, objectives, and assessment items should be parallel. One way to clearly represent this relationship is to create a three-column table that lists each of the skills from your instructional analysis, the accompanying objective, and the resulting assessment item. At the bottom of the table you would finish up with your main instructional goal, the terminal objective, and the test item for the terminal objective.

It is important at this point to make sure that your design is adequate so that you will be able to move on to the next step in the instructional design process. The next step involves developing an instructional strategy based on all of the design work you have done up to this point.
