The goal of virtual internships is to give learners scaffolded experience doing the kinds of things that actual professionals do, such as: conducting background research, holding design meetings, reporting to supervisors, and developing and testing prototypes.
This is an awesome idea, especially in providing students with a real-world application and experience!
Constant monitoring of progress and the ongoing collection of indicators that allow inferences of cognitive and metacognitive processes are required.
I completely agree with this statement, but I do think that it is important to clarify about the importance of personality and self-reflection in the learning process! Without self-reflection, a student will not improve in a subject!
The term “stealth assessment” was coined by Shute and Ventura (2013) for an approach in which they used data automatically collected from learners as they played a digital game.
There are a great deal of models for utilizing games in assessment, especially since the COVID-19 Pandemic! Just look at systems like Kahoot, Blooket, and Gimkit!
a handful of studies have been proposed to apply AI techniques to automate the generation of such assessment tasks, such as multiple-choice questions and open-answer questions.
This is definetly an interesting notion! It would definetly simplify making assessments to check for comprehension and clarity regarding information. COuld this same automation be used to develop rubrics for projects and skills-based assessment, such as a singing test or an art project.
there has been a shift in the literature on learning, particularly in the learning sciences and computer-supported collaborative learning, that argues that learning processes, in addition to learning outcomes, are worthy objects of study
The COVID-19 pandemic has definitely change how assessments are given and utilized in education. I think that it will be absolutely necessary to do further research about the uses of computer supported learning and how it has impacted learning outcomes!
these assessments may be discrete
I really like this! In music education, a great deal of my assessments are very informal! Not every assessment needs to be a sit down test or massive project. Sometimes, the assessment can simply be a classroom discussion or reflection.
They also plan and lead learning activities, provide feedback, and, more generally, manage the classroom culture
This is one of the most important aspects of assessment that I think can be under utilized, and if the use of A.I can enhance and simplify that process- why not test it and see if it works!
we also acknowledge that traditional assessment practices were developed for a reason and, to some extent, have been successful and valuable for understanding and improving student learning.
It is vital to remember the importance of assessment in the learning environment, especially considering introducing a differentiation of assessment in many forms for all students.
