WEBsistments

Here are some slides that Neil Heffernan likes to share with others about this idea.

This was part of this talk. Media:Session4-koedinger-tea2012.pdf.

• Professor Heffernan was asked to brief 200 state leaders from departments of education on the future of assessments that is embedded into instruction. If you want to read just one paper that talks about some of the research results we have, this is the paper to read.
  • Heffernan, N. T. & Koedinger, K. R. (2012). Integrating Assessment Within Instruction: A Look Forward. This paper was presented at the "Invitational Research Symposium on Technology Enhanced Assessments". This was organized by ETS's K12-Center and took place May 7-8, 2012. It was under the auspices of the Council of Chief State School Officers.
