How should an instructional designer go about selecting appropriate assessment strategies for different learning contexts and situations? Given that students are often more engaged when they are given some choice in their learning process, when is it appropriate to allow learners to participate in the choice or creation of assessment tools or instruments?

Post a summary of your thoughts regarding circumstances in which it may or may not be appropriate to allow learner choice in the design or creation of assessment tools. To support your comparison, describe at least one situation in which allowing some learner choice in assessment is appropriate, and one in which it is not appropriate.
