Some messages relevant to the Technology list will be cross-posted, but you can join the discussion by subscribing to the Assessment list: http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/nifl-assessment/assessment.html Regards, Mariann The assessment discussion list is hosting a guest this week: December 13-17 Topic: Test Development and Administration; Guest: April Zenisky, Director of Computer-Based Testing Initiatives, and ABE Test Developer, Center for Educational Assessment, University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Recommended preparations for the Testing discussion: TBA * A Basic Primer for Understanding Standardized Tests and Using Test Scores April Zenisky, Lisa Keller, Stephen G. Sireci UMass Amherst http://sabes.org/resources/adventures/vol16/16zenisky.htm (an overview of validity, reliability, interpreting scale scores, standard error of measurement) * ACLS, SABES, UMass: Perfect Together! Stephen Sireci UMASS Amherst http://sabes.org/resources/adventures/vol16/16sireci.htm (an overview of the collaboration and products developed by these agencies, including new statewide assessments) But I wanted to bring to your attention that April is heavily discussing the use of technology in testing, and she is asking questions about adult learners' experience in using computer technology, what they are able to do, what they are challenged by. I thought that folks on your list would enjoy this discussion, and have much to contribute.
