I am interested in the use of ICT to supporte authentic forms of assessment. I am calling this Digital Forms of Assessment. At the Centre for Schooling and Learning Technologies (CSaLT) we are conducting a three-year project investigating digital forms of assessment for high-stakes school graduation assessment. This is building on the work of Professor Richard Kimbell in the UK with the eScape Project.
