DESCRIPTION
Making the complex clear, turning difficult into intriguing, raising intellectual curiosity, supporting creative problem solving, posing authentic challenges, building effective scaffolds – contemporary e-learning goes beyond the latest tools and technologies. The special interest group “Designing, Developing, and Assessing E-Learning” aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to debate and collaborate on a variety of instructional design themes. The SIG will promote activities for future E-Learn conferences, including suggestions for invited speakers and symposia. It provides a marketplace for joint research projects and offers publications opportunities in form of special issues and edited volumes.

Assessment & E-Learning
• Needs Assessment: Gather data to reach the audience effectively and design user-friendly interfaces (e.g., focus groups, surveys, interviews, personas, scenarios)
• Impact Assessment: Understand how learners access online material or move through the curriculum and improve their experience (e.g., Web analytics, social media metrics, learning analytics, surveys, interviews)
• Classroom Assessment: Implement assessment techniques that support students’ critical thinking abilities and transfer learning skills (e.g., peer-to-peer assessment, rubrics, portfolios, problem-based learning).
Ideas for Activities
• Follow-up online survey among SIG members • Bimonthly virtual meetings (Adobe Connect /
Google Hangout) – suggested topics?• SIG Mailinglist / Newsletter• SIG Blog/Website• SIG Social Media Spaces (Facebook, Twitter,
