Year 1 Technology Studies: Implications for Technology in Assessment

This report documents CRESST’s 1996-1997 technology initiatives in two broad areas: (a) using technology to improve the quality, utility, and feasibility of existing measures, and (b) using technology to design and develop new assessments and measurement approaches available through no other means. We review current activities, evaluate the outlook for particular assessment technologies, and report on lessons learned. Implications for assessments are also discussed.
