Call for Papers
Workshop on Technology-Enhanced Formative Assessment (TEFA) 2013
in conjunction with the
Eight European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL) 2013
Paphos, Cyprus
Overview
Today, learning often occurs collaboratively in learner networks; formal
learning is combined with informal learning; and learners use, for example,
personalised and personal learning environments adapted to their needs and
preferences. While in a general sense any assessment can be used for
formative
or summative purposes, more genuinely formative assessment needs to
provide:
(a) rich, detailed information about learning (feedback),
(b) information that offers guidance on how to improve learning, and
(c) opportunities to actively construct an understanding about how to
regulate
learning, and negotiate a successful outcome amongst the key stakeholders.
Workshop Goals
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?
Workshop Topics
The following topics are proposed, but the submissions need not be limited
to
these:
* formative assessment in adaptive systems
* formative assessment for users with special needs
* formative assessment for 21st Century skills
* mobile assessment
* feedback technologies
* integrated e-assessment, embedded assessment
* location-based/context aware educational feedback
* (automated) item design and generation
* automated analysis of open answers
* alignment of formative and summative feedback
* peer-assessment
* learning analytics for assessment purposes
* standard-conform e-assessment, flexible e-assessment,
interoperable e-assessment
* e-assessment in complex learning - i.e. collaborative learning,
serious games, 3D worlds and digital stories, discussion forums
* learning analytics and assessment
* assessment rubrics
Workshop Format
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.
