Assessment for learning – Digital tools for effective practice

There is much evidence to suggest that engagement of learners themselves in ongoing assessment of their progress can be a very powerful factor in raising their attainment. This is especially so where good quality feedback is offered and learners are encouraged to set their own new goals.  
We aim to share this practice widely

We built this work by drawing together research and examples of good practice in using technology based assessment methods.
NIACE staff researched and published a short E Guideline book on how to use digital tools to make this work well

This work is to improve the learning experiences of adults by raising the skill and understanding of teachers

The work has resulted in a publication

Assessment for Learning - Digital tools for effective practice

This work is intended to make the use of technology for formative assessment a  seamless enhancement of the learning process
