techno-assessment to socio-assessment?
Have seen e-assessment move from techno-assessment to socio-assessment?
Techno-assessment includes computer marked assessments such as multiple choice, true/false, calculations and fill in the gap. As the technology became more sophisticated matching exercised, drag and drop, and simple animations emerged. In all of these cases the learners answer is either correct or incorrect. And it is predetermined.
Socio-assessment relies on the communication capacities of the Internet. Here the learner moves from interactivity with the interface to cognitive and social interactivity. Examples include individual and group blogs, webquests, problem bad scenario based assessment.
