Technology-enhanced assessment (TEA) uses technology to support assessment management and delivery, going beyond simply digitizing traditional assessments. TEA allows for new types of questions that demonstrate complex thinking and understanding through tasks like experiments, simulations, and real-world problem-solving. Teachers can use TEA to continuously track student progress, personalize learning, and intervene when needed. Key benefits of TEA include strengthening academic and social-emotional skills, providing real-time feedback, increasing accessibility, and adapting to individual learners through embedding assessment in the learning process. Common TEA tools include online tests, assignments, and learning assessments.

2. Technology Enhanced
Assessment (TEA)
Technology Enhanced
Assessment (TEA) is a broad
term that encompasses the
diverse methods by
which technology can be used to
support the management and
delivery of assessment.
TEA does not mean simply
replacing existing assessments
with digital versions, but rather
making use of technology to tackle
some of the operational and
pedagogic issues of assessment.

3. Importance of TEA
• Technology can help us imagine and redefine assessment
in a variety of ways.
• Its tools can provide measurements for learners who are
designing and building products, conducting experiments
using mobile devices, and manipulating parameters in
simulations.
• Problems can be situated in real-world environments,
where students perform tasks, or include multi-stage
scenarios that simulate authentic, progressive engagement
with the subject matter. TEA can solve it.
• Teachers can access information on student progress and
learning throughout the school day, which allows them to
adapt instruction to personalize learning or intervene to
address particular learning shortfalls.

4. • The unique attributes of technology-based
assessments that enable these activities include
the following.
1. Technology-based assessments allow for a variety
of question types beyond the limited multiple-
choice, true-or-false, or fill-in-the-blank options
that have characterized traditional assessments.
2. Technology-enhanced questions allow students to
demonstrate more complex thinking and share
their understanding of material

5. Uses of TES
 Strengthen academic and social
and emotional success
 Provide Real-Time Feedback
 Increase Accessibility
 Adapt to Learner Ability and Knowledge
 Embedded With the Learning Process
 Incorporating Student Interests: Games and
Assessment
 Sophisticated technology-driven assessments will
enable more powerful personalized learning.

6. Improving Teaching
Teachers can use technology to make their
own work more productive teachers can use
spreadsheets to track student work and also
track their teaching plans.
Easy way to handle large group students.
For individualized instruction.
To evaluate all dimensions of students
To make and store continuous evaluation

7. Tools for TES
 Online test
 Online assignments
 OMR based questions
 Online learning and assessment

9. There is huge scope for the use of
technology to enhance both the delivery
and management of assessment,
including using video to deliver feedback.
