In 2011, a consensus report was produced on technology-enhanced assessment (TEA), its good practices, and future perspectives. Since then, technological advances have enabled innovative practices and tools that have revolutionised how learners are assessed. In this updated consensus, we bring together the potential of technology and the ultimate goals of assessment on learner attainment, faculty development, and improved healthcare practices.
As a material for the report, we used the scholarly publications on TEA in both HPE and general higher education, feedback from 2020 Ottawa Conference workshops, and scholarly publications on assessment technology practices during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The group identified areas of consensus that remained to be resolved and issues that arose in the evolution of TEA. We adopted a three-stage approach (readiness to adopt technology, application of assessment technology, and evaluation/dissemination). The application stage adopted an assessment 'lifecycle' approach and targeted five key foci: (1) Advancing authenticity of assessment, (2) Engaging learners with assessment, (3) Enhancing design and scheduling, (4) Optimising assessment delivery and recording learner achievement, and (5) Tracking learner progress and faculty activity and thereby supporting longitudinal learning and continuous assessment.
2011年,发布了一份关于技术增强评估(TEA)、其良好实践及未来展望的共识报告。自那时起,技术进步催生了创新实践和工具,彻底改变了对学习者的评估方式。在这份更新的共识报告中,我们将技术的潜力与评估在学习者成就、教师发展及改善医疗实践方面的最终目标结合起来。
作为报告素材,我们使用了健康与体育教育(HPE)及普通高等教育中关于TEA的学术出版物、2020年渥太华会议研讨会的反馈意见,以及新冠疫情期间关于评估技术实践的学术出版物。
该小组确定了有待解决的共识领域以及TEA发展过程中出现的问题。我们采用了三阶段方法(准备采用技术、应用评估技术以及评估/传播)。应用阶段采用了评估“生命周期”方法,并针对五个关键重点:(1)提高评估的真实性,(2)让学习者参与评估,(3)改进设计与安排,(4)优化评估实施及记录学习者成绩,(5)跟踪学习者进展和教师活动,从而支持纵向学习和持续评估。
