Technology-Enhanced Assessment (TEA)
Technology-enhanced assessment (TEA) is the process of using technology to assess and improve student learning. It can help track student progress, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and provide them with support on a personalized level.
TEA has several benefits. It can:
- Help to assess student learning in a more comprehensive and inclusive way.
- Help to track student progress and monitor their development.
- Help to identify student strengths and weaknesses, which can then be used to provide personalized support.
- Help to design supportive and responsive learning experiences that can be used to improve student learning.
Types of TEA
There are many different types of TEA. Some examples include:
- Online assessment: This provides students with a collection of questions and tasks that are available online.
- Assessment redesign: This uses technology to make traditional assessments more comprehensive and inclusive. For example, videos or other interactive elements can be added to assessments.
- Personalization: This provides personalized assessment experiences based on student development. For example, students can receive questions or tasks based on their strengths and weaknesses.
Implementation of TEA
There are several factors to consider when implementing TEA. These include:
- The goals of the assessment: What do you want to learn about student learning?
- The needs of the students: What are the strengths and weaknesses of the students?
- The availability of technology: What technology is available to you?
