AUSSIE Alert: Episode 1 -- Does technology improve the effectiveness of assessments?

Audio posted February 12th, 2009 by Daniel Storchan

Welcome to AUSSIE Alert, an ongoing series of podcasts exploring professional development in the 21st century. A core belief within AUSSIE is that learning never stops, and these podcasts are an opportunity for our consultants to come together to explore issues and trends in education.

Today's episode features members of our educational technology study group, a collaborative team that is working to drive the direction of AUSSIE's ed. tech consultancy services.

The essential question for this inaugural podcast was: can technology improve the effectiveness of assessments?

Our consultants prepared for the round table discussion by reading the recent report released by State Educational Technology Directors Association entitled, "Technology-Based Assessments Improve Teaching and Learning".

We hope this episode is informative, helpful, and of course entertaining. Please take a few minutes to register on the website so you, too, can join the discussion and provide comments and feedback.

Enjoy the show.
