Question

How to measure the performance or goodness of communication about an open assessment?

Answer

Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle GC = \frac{Re*Av*Us*Ac}{Ef} }

Explanations:

  • Calibration, Informativeness, and Coherence: These are not relevant for the assessment of communication methods and are therefore not used.
  • Relevance (Re): P(receiver is interested in the content of communication)
  • Availability (Av): number of people hearing the content N(people)
  • Usability (Us): utility of content (in onors) to a user finding it interesting U(content)
  • Acceptability (Ac): P(content and production are acceptable in user's context)
  • Efficiency (Ef): Sum of costs (in working hours): Sum(talking, reading, using content)
  • Goodness of communication (GC): overall outcome divided by resources used

Rationale

Open assessment framework. The roles of different participants lead to different kinds of communication and information work.

Drafts of estimates for calculations. The idea is to test whether a quantitative approach makes sense, i.e. whether it is possible to give plausible answers as parameters in the calculation.
