Assessment Tools

Charter
The Sakai Assessment Tools discussion group is intended to be a gathering of individuals interested in improving and promoting the use of assessment tools within Sakai. Considering that Sakai already has a plurality of assessment tools, this group serves as a clearing house for topics like best uses and interoperability. Taking a more long-term view, the group will consider recommendations and improvements to to current and future tools.

Topic Description

• current usage and best use recommendations for assessment tools within Sakai
• assessment pedagogy (both formative and summative)
• user interaction and tool design
• assessment tool interoperability with other tools (e.g. Tests & Quizzes with Gradebook) and standards compliance (e.g. IMS-QTI)
• process for feature requests and prioritization
• future plans for assessment tools
