Computer-Assisted Performance Assessment in Advanced Technological Education

该教材开发项目旨在为电子技术人员开发计算机辅助绩效评估。该团队正在创建、在包括高中和两年制和四年制大学在内的几个地点进行现场测试，验证并传播关于入门电子任务的自动化学生表现测试。新软件需要使用几种商业上可用的产品。该项目是协和联盟已完成的现有工作的扩展，并使用他们开发的软件Pedagogica以及National Instruments的LabVIEW来创建模型电路的评估。其他人可以使用正在使用的开源软件复制使用该软件开发评估的过程，从而使任何人都可以开发关于其他主题的评估。该项目包括职业研究和发展中心(CORD)制定和指导在职教师使用绩效评估系统的计划。

This educational materials development project is designed to develop computer-assisted performance assessments for electronics technicians. The team is creating, field testing in several locations including high schools and two and four-year colleges, validating, and disseminating automated student performance tests on introductory electronics tasks. The new software requires the use of several commercially available products. This project is an extension of existing work that has been done by the Concord Consortium and uses software developed by them, Pedagogica, as well as National Instruments' LabVIEW, to create the assessments of model circuits. The process of using the software for developing assessments can be replicated by others with the open source software that is being used, allowing anyone to develop assessments on additional topics. The project includes a plan for the Center for Occupation Research and Development (CORD) to develop and conduct teacher in-service about using the performance assessment system.
