Editor's Notes
As technology increasingly drives 21st century pedagogical strategies, so is it also influencing assessment design, a separate, and interconnected field with instructional design.
This presentation summarizes research that points to the increasing value of authentic assessment and technology assisted simulation, which is supported by the the University’s 2012 technology plan, and current educational accreditation standards.
Since 1997 new frameworks for assessment design, Evidence Centered Design, The National Research Council’s Assessment Triangle, and The BEAR Assessment Systems point to the value for integrating assessment with performance tasks.
Authentic modes of assessment support this, providing learners with tasks that simulate or are actually engaged with real life situations. These knowledge enhancing learning experiences require students to generate a response that employs a complex knowledge of skills in unpredictable world contexts. The aim should be to provide valid and accurate information about what students really know, and are able to do in real contexts under natural conditions.
“Innovative assessment formats, such as simulations, are being designed to measure complex knowledge and inquiry previously impossible to test in paper-based or hands-on formats. These new assessments aim to align summative assessment more directly to the processes and contexts of learning and instruction
The use of simulation is supported in the University of Maine’s Technology Plan, and would likely support accreditation standards used by the College of Education and Human Development. Before resources are invested in identifying available tools, building new tools, or support for Professional Development and classroom integration of virtual assessment we seek your experience to determine what, if any, developments are necessary in advance to bridge the current infrastructure to meet plan goals.
The information revealed in the linked surveys will provide a generalized self-assessment of current Instructional Technology practices and comprehension across programs and inform future paths for technology integration in the College related to professional development and investment in new tools.
