Assessment (and Reporting)

FETC - the clickers (and LMS) and inquiry divergence

RWL - what struck you as odd? Did any alarms bells go off? Did your skepticism meter go wild?

Grading With Games - James Paul Gee

Effective Assessment in a Digital Age outlines some of the key benefits

• better dialogue and communication that can overcome distance and time constraints
• immediate and learner-led assessment through interactive online tests and tools in the hand (such as voting devices and internet connected mobile phones)
• authenticity through online simulations and video technologies and risk-free rehearsal of real-world skills in professional and vocational education
• fast and easy processing and transferring of data
• improved thinking and ownership through peer assessment, collection of evidence and reflection on achievements in e-portfolios
• making visible skills and learning processes that were previously difficult to measure
• a personal quality to feedback, even in large-group contexts

Reporting - how do we improve on this part?
