From Assessment “Of” Learning, To …Assessment “For And While” Learning
Steve Joordens, DirectorAdvance Learning Technology LabUniversity of Toronto at Scarborough
Heaven … As Described By Michael Fullan (And Others)
1. It’s not about the knowledge, it’s about knowing what to do with it. Critical Thinking, Creativity, Communication,
Collaboration, Character Education, Citizenship, Caring – metaCognitive
2. Technology has clear negatives, but it also has the potential to positively enact educational change … if properly designed (i.e., pedagogically based, easy to use, effective)
3. Students are bored and fail to see the relevance of a traditional curriculum and the assignments associated with it … we badly need to find ways to engage them!
4. Teachers are bored and need ways to model creativity and excitement over learning

The minds of our students are never more engaged than they are when we asses them
Engagement is the front door to learning
1. Purpose Built: Based on what we know (from research) works … evidence based
2. Research Honed: Specifics, efficacy and best practices informed by application-specific research
3. Direct ties to Learning Outcomes / 21st Century Skills / 6 or 7 Cs
4. Assessment of these “transferable 21st Century skills”
