By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
a. Systematically apply digital technologies for formative and summative assessment through use of various assessments processes that best provide feedback to learners;
b. Systematically use digital technologies during assessment to provide targeted and timely feedback to learners;
c. Enable learners and parents to understand the evidence acquired by digital technologies during assessment and use it for decision-making and future planning.
a. Identify and reflect on the diversity and suitability of assessment formats and approaches;
b. Critically reflect on the appropriateness digital assessment approaches and adapt strategies to requirements;
c. Critically discuss the use of digital technologies applied in the assessment process;
d. Identify digital assessment tools that monitor the learning process through which information is gathered on learners’ progress.
a. Analyse and interpret digital evidence on learner activity, performance and progress, in order to inform teaching and learning through various assessment strategies;
