social, economic, and educational institutions

Integrating Technology in Assessment
Digital technology…

and measure the 21st century
skills needed for economic
prosperity

(OECD, 2016; Broadfoot, et al., 2013)

Integrating Technology in Assessment

Digital technology…
has the potentialto make the
process of administration more
standardized, efficient, and
offer diverse ways in which
learners can demonstrate
their knowledge
(OECD, 2016; Broadfoot, et al., 2013)

Integrating Technology in Assessment

Interactive online tests and tools in

the hand (such as voting devices and
internet connected mobile phones) can
facilitate learner-led, on-demand
formative assessment. (Rapid
feedback can then correct
misconceptions and guide further
study)

3. Teacher C has a 50-item validated achievement test (that
she used to give in her in-person classes). Her school shifted
to blended learning and she needed to give the said test online.
She later found that the format of at least five items of the test
is not supported by Typeform, an online quiz platform. She
revised the non-supported test items, finalized the quiz and
administered it online.

 What do the issues and challenges
presented tell us about how we use
technology in assessment?

e-Assessment is a chance to IMPROVE the quality of

assessment, don’t waste it.

Technology should ONLY ENHANCE and NOT REPLACE highly valued

assessment practices and methods.

Use technology to design assessment tasks that encourage original thought and
minimize opportunities for cheating.

If you can use

technology to
transform (and just
enhance) assessment,
do it!

”Don’t ask what the technology

can do for you, rather what the
pedagogy needs.”
Gilly Salmon
Professor of e-Learning and Learning Technologies,
University of Leicester
“The important thing is not to assume that we have to forget
everything that is known about assessment and feedback just
because we now have technology.... What we know about
validity, reliability, transparency and authenticity of
assessment still applies. We must... uphold all of those
values, but also use the new tools appropriately.”
Phil Race
Emeritus Professor, Leeds Metropolitan University

“Nothing that we do to, or for, our students is more

important than our assessment of their work and the
feedback we give them on it. The results of our
assessment influence our students for the rest of their
lives and careers – fine if we get it right, but
unthinkable if we get it wrong.”
