5 Characteristics of Good Digital Assessment Tools
Digital tools for assessment need to do 5 things in order to add value to the classroom:
- Collect and organize artifacts, both performances and products
- Provide ways for both teachers and students to provide and receive meaningful feedback
- Simplify the process of allowing for student voice, choice, and personalization
- Give a big picture overview (the map and the progress towards goal) as well as a ground level detail view (where I am now)
- Be simple enough to use that they can become embedded and transparent, used all the time
