TEFA 2013 - Workshop on Technology-Enhanced Formative Assessment 2013 (TEFA 2013)

The goal of the workshop is to develop the notion of technology-enhanced formative assessment (TEFA) as a component for extending existing or new TEL approaches, further combining expertise from pedagogy, educational measurement, cognitive science, and information technology. A trend from dedicated to integrated and from sporadic to continuous formative assessment is envisioned. Challenging research questions will be addressed such as: How are established forms of formative assessment changing with the inclusion of technology and what new forms of formative assessment become possible? How is this reflected in new pedagogical approaches? How can today VLE support the provision of elaborated feedback?
Position statement submissions are solicited (6 pages max. in Springer Format) that deal with approaches and innovative assessment technologies that support the transition from current assessment scenarios towards the development of e-assessment forms through which high level of meta-cognitive skills are evaluated, on-going feedback is provided, and students are more engaged in the learning process.
