Assessment 2.0
Types of assessment
 convergent type, in which one correct answer is expected, and divergent
responses, in which the answer depends on opinion or analysis (Torrance
et al., 2001)
 convergent assessment has its origins in mastery-learning models and
involves assessment of the student by the master-teacher
 divergent assessment is often associated with a constructivist view of
learning, where the teacher and student engage collaboratively within
Vygotsky’s (1986) zone of proximal development

Assessment 2.0
Teachers need to decide:
 whether a norm-referenced or criterion-referenced
assessment scheme is more appropriate for the particular
learning outcomes
 whether the process of solving a problem and the product
of solving a problem are both assessed, and what is the
relative weighting for the two components
 whether constructed or selected responses are appropriate

Effective e-Assessment
 can offer new possibilities for immersion and
interactivity
 has the potential to facilitate enhanced social
interactions
 can begin to resemble games and role-playing
 can facilitate the exposition of advanced skills and
capabilities

Interactivity - Java and Java applets
a simple platform-independent (Mac, PC or Linux)
object-oriented programming language (objects rather
than functions) used for writing applets (small
applications) that are downloaded from the www by a
client (you or the student) and run on the client's
machine

Future assessments?
 Will we see universal development of immersive and
authentic learning and assessment environments?
 Will assessments measure approaches to problem solving
and student responses in terms of efficiency, ethical
considerations and the involvement of others?
 Will teachers be able to construct future assessments or will
this be a specialty activity?
