Nimble Assessments: Tools for the Design and Analysis of Interactive Assessments

这个全面的项目正在开发和调整创新的方法和工具，以促进设计以技术为媒介的学生学习过程的互动式评估。在以往工作的基础上，该项目将三个组件和功能整合到现有平台中，使其适合在各种学习环境中实施。这些组件包括创作工具、众包资源和对数据抽象的自动化支持。来自斯坦福大学的一组研究人员和开发人员领导了这项工作，并正在开发以下产品：(1)一种编写语言，用于开发学生学习的交互式评估；(2)众包仪表板，以方便验证措施；(3)数据抽象平台，以协助收集和分析与这些类型的评估相关的丰富数据语料库。随着对开发和使用广泛的方法来评估学生学习的兴趣的增加，这个全面的研究和开发项目侧重于开发一个评估基础设施，以支持创建和使用新的评估和分析形式。主平台旨在支持后续扩展和功能添加，以响应学生学习知识的动态特性和衡量学生成绩的新方法。

This full-scale project is developing and adapting innovative methodologies and tools to facilitate the design of interactive assessments of student learning processes that are mediated by technology. Building on previous work, the project incorporates three components and capabilities into an existing platform that makes it suitable for implementation in a wide range of learning environments. The components are authoring tools, crowd-sourcing resources, and automated support for data abstraction. A team of researchers and developers from Stanford University lead the effort and are developing the following products (1) an authoring language to develop interactive assessments of student learning; (2) a crowd sourcing dashboard to facilitate validation of measures; and (3) a data abstraction platform to assist in the collection and analysis of the rich corpus of data associated with these types of assessments.With an increased interest in the development and use of a wide range of ways to assess student learning, this full scale research and development project focuses on the development of an assessment infrastructure that supports the creation and use of new forms of assessments and analyses. The main platform is designed to support subsequent extensions and feature addition in response to the dynamic nature of knowledge about student learning and new approaches to measuring student outcomes.
