The Changing Face of Assessment 

Presenters:  Dave Bartram, Tanya Delany, and Nancy Tippins

During the past 10 years we have witnessed a transition from paper based assessments to technology enabled assessments.  The reach of assessment experts is no longer within a country or geographical region.  Today assessments are expected to be available for use across countries and cultures quickly, reliably and in a cost effective way.  Assessment experts are challenged to show faster development time with reduced development and maintenance costs.

This panel will discuss the chancing faces of assessment in Asia, Europe and the Americas.  Examples of how changes in recent years are impacting the future of assessment development and implementation will be shared.

1. Discuss the changes to assessment methodologies resulting from the use of technology enabled assessments
