Enhancing Assessment through Technology

Technology: a tool, something put together to satisfy

a need, solve a problem, or attain a goal in social,
economic, and educational institutions (Madaus, 2001).

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

Integrating Technology in Assessment

Online interaction via forums, blogs,

email and voice boards can enrich
feedback, help to clarify learning goals
and standards, and help overcome
distance and time constraints

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. )

Integrating Technology in Assessment

Online simulations and video technologies

can increase the discriminatory power of
assessment and support risk-free rehearsal of
real-world skills

Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), 2010

Integrating Technology in Assessment

Assessment delivery and management

systems can provide instant feedback to
learners and practitioners, yielding robust
information for curriculum review and
quality assurance processes.

Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), 2010

Integrating Technology in Assessment

Activities such as peer assessment, collection

of evidence and reflection on achievements in
e-portfolios and blogs can generate ownership
of learning and promote higher-order thinking
skills, in turn improving performance in
summative assessment.

Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), 2010

Integrating Technology in Assessment

Technology can add a personal quality to

feedback, even in large-group contexts, and,
through efficiencies gained from asynchronous
communication and automated marking, can
enable practitioners to make more productive
use of their time

Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), 2010

Integrating Technology in Assessment

Technology-enabled assessment practices

allow practitioners to interact with learners in
ways that would otherwise be impossible due
to pressures of time and numbers

Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), 2010

Integrating Technology in Assessment

Delivery of feedback through digital

audio and video, or screen-capture
software, may also save time and improve
learners’ engagement with feedback.

 Integrating Technology in Assessment
Three stages of integration of technology in educational
assessment (Bennett, 2015)

Stage 1 • Delivery of traditional assessments via computers

• Automation of various assessment processes and

Stage 2 attempts to improve the measurement of that have
proven difficult to measure using paper-and-pencil
tests

• Use of complex simulations and other interactive

Stage 3 performance tasks that replicate important
features of real environments

How does technology enhance
assessment?
Enhancing Assessment through Technology
For technology to enhance assessment and feedback, it
must add value to the current practice by
• making the experience of assessment more authentic or
appropriate
• enabling learners to more effectively monitor and correct
their own learning
• increasing the validity and efficiency of assessments
• improving the quality and timeliness of feedback
• by increasing interactivity

 Issues and Challenges in the Use of Tech-
based Educational Assessment

1. Teacher A implements blended learning. He

migrates his 15-item multiple choice test (that he
used to give in test papers) into Google Form so
that his students can take at home.
 Issues and Challenges in the Use of Tech-
based Educational Assessment

2. Only half of the Grade 7 class has reliable

Internet connectivity. Teacher B assigns her students
to use Teammates for peer assessment.
 Issues and Challenges in the Use of Tech-
based Educational Assessment

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.

based Educational Assessment

4. In his online class (in Google Meet), Teacher D

recorded his real-time critiquing of student-made
videos but did not ask the consent of his students.

5. Teacher E assigns students to develop e-

Portfolios in Wix. He uses the rubric that he used
for years in evaluating printed student portfolios to
rate e-Portfolios.

6. Teacher F assigns students to post their

reflective journals in PeeblePad. A student was
bullied online because of her journal entry.

Environment where students acquire essential 21st century
skills while learning Biology and Earth Science at the
same time. Assessment of cognitive and non-cognitive
learning targets is embedded in the virtual learning
environment.

What do the issues and challenges

presented tell us about how we use
technology in assessment?
Some Reminders:
1. e-Assessment is a chance to IMPROVE the quality of
assessment, don’t waste it.
2. Technology should ONLY ENHANCE and NOT REPLACE
highly valued assessment practices and methods.

3. Use technology to design assessment tasks that encourage

original thought and minimize opportunities for cheating.

4. 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 have to... 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.”
