Student Performance, Assessment, and Technology Outcomes: Defining Relationships for Effective Assessment

The assessment of learning is becoming nuanced as technology-mediated solutions are more widely available and implemented. Publisher text content has moved from cartridge to interactive to adaptive learning. New adaptive learning companies are arising and others are being acquired. The challenge is to integrate and align adaptive learning with course assessment and outcomes. Technology provides solutions for the integration of various and at times disparate assessments. New assessment plans, rubrics, guidelines, and best practices will be needed to plan for integration and effective output reporting in order to design high-quality learning experiences and measure student performance.

OUTCOMES: Recognize the importance of aligning technology/adaptive outcomes with course objectives * Investigate an effective selection criteria for tool evaluation * Design an assessment plan integrated with adaptive learning
