2.3: Assessment Technologies
Conduct research and development that explores how embedded assessment technologies, such as simulations, collaboration environments,
virtual worlds, games, and cognitive tutors, can be used to engage and motivate learners while assessing complex skills.
Other Information:
Interactive technologies, especially games, provide immediate performance feedback so that players always know how they are
doing. As a result, they are highly engaging to students and have the potential to motivate students to learn. They also enable
educators to assess important competencies and aspects of thinking in contexts and through activities that students care about
in everyday life. Because interactive technologies hold this promise, assessment and interactive technology experts should
collaborate on research to determine ways to use them effectively for assessment.
