Mobile Assessment of Student Learning for the Blended Classroom

This session will introduce multiple ways to assess student learning through mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. It will feature real-time implementation of evidence-based mobile classroom assessment techniques and demonstrate to participants the results of their mobile interaction. Such brief assessment tools as minute papers, directed paraphrasing, one-sentence summaries, identification of real-world applications, and student-generated test questions are particularly suited to social media through mobile. All participants with digital devices will engage in live feedback exercises both during and after the presentation. Results will be displayed, with analysis, bibliography, and practical applications, on the presentation website.
