Participants can:

2. make a relevant choice about: ""to assess or not to assess digital""
3. select a suitable digital question type to design a test question

   Note: in this workshop the participants will not learn how to work with assessment tools.

The workshop will be given as Flipped classroom which means that the participants need to do some preparation work before the workshop and actively use their own course material during the workshop. The preparation (assignments) costs a participant about one hour.
