Abstract:
Educational institutions across the globe have begun to place value on the technology of assessment instruments as they reflect what is valued in learning and deemed worthy of measurement. This publication combines in-depth, multi-disciplinary research in learning assessment to provide a fresh look at its impact on academic life. A significant reference source for practitioners, academicians, and researchers in related fields, this handbook of research contains not only technological assessments, but also technologies and assumptions about assessment and learning involving race, cultural diversity, and creativity.
