The Role of Information Technology in Student Learning Assessment

这项计划旨在研究资讯科技对教育企业的影响，并考虑如何因应教育企业的需要，进行新的资讯科技研究。该项目涉及利用信息技术实现新形式的学生学习评估工具和提供这些工具的新形式。这项工作将由伍斯特理工学院的一组本科生完成，他们将在自己所在的机构学习研究方法和提案写作课程，并在NSF办公室工作。在项目结束时，学生们将以正式的口头报告的形式向NSF工作人员、WPI教师和学校的其他代表辩护他们的工作。此外，学生将向NSF提交一份完整的最终报告，包括文献综述和方法，数据展示和数据分析，结论和建议。

This project is examining the impact of information technology on the educational enterprise, and considering how the needs of the educational enterprise may inform new IT research. The project addresses the use of information technology to enable new forms of student learning assessment tools and new forms of delivery of those tools. The work will be performed by a team of undergraduate students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, working at the NSF offices following a course in research methods and proposal writing at their home institution. At the conclusion of the project, the students will defend their work in a formal oral presentation to NSF personnel, WPI faculty and other representatives of the university. In addition, the students will deliver a completed final report to NSF, containing a literature review and methodology, a presentation of data with data analysis, conclusions, and recommendations.
