Computer-Based Assessments
Although
computer-based assessments may generally be more
efficient and affordable once fully implemented,
they may not suit every subject area exclusively.
For example, in foreign language education, while
some aspects of a student's, or even a teacher's
skills may lend themselves to computer-based
assessment, such as vocabulary or geography of the
target country, "productive language skills," to
coin the "Praxis" terminology, require and deserve
more subtle evaluation and interpretation.
Technology should support learning, but in
conjunction with other forms of assessment where
it best serves the interest of the
learner.
