8. Assessment
8.1 Monitoring Student Progress & Performance
Student progress and performance are tracked automatically and detailed reports are instantly available on the Instructor Dashboard under Groups & Reports.
Instructors can view and compare summary results for all students in a Group. Clicking a student name displays a detailed Performance Report for the student.
Assessment is fully automated as described below.
8.2 Grading
To convert the GoVenture assessment into a course grade, compare the estimated hours required for each GoVenture activity to the total number of course hours, including homework. Then assign a grade percentage that reflects this proportion.
- For example, if your course requires 60 total hours and one GoVenture Project Management scenario takes 3 hours, you might assign it at least 5% of the total course grade.
- If a GoVenture activity carries more weight or importance than other course components, consider assigning it a proportionally higher grade percentage.
8.3 Performance SCORE — Metrics & Weights
Assessment is fully automated and summarized in a Performance Score (0 to 100%) that is weighted across multiple metrics:
On Time — 25%
On Budget — 25%
Quiz Score — 10%
Project Completion is the most significant metric because it rewards students for putting in the time and effort to complete the activity. Students who do not fully complete the Project Scenario will have a low Performance Score.
Each Project Scenario (by Group) that students play is assigned a unique score.
8.4 Performance Report
The Performance Report provides a detailed view of student activity, but the only item that is needed by instructors for assessment is the Performance Score.
Students can see their own reports in real time, but not those of other students.
