The Technology Implications of the New State Adaptive-Logic, Computer-based, CA Student Assessment–Its Issues, logistics, and Rewards
Richard Capone,
Assessment Developer and CEO
Let’s Go Learn, Inc.
This seminar will focus on the new computer-based, on-line, adaptive-logic student assessment and the implications of this technology on the possible look and feel of the computer-based portion of the SMARTER CA assessment in 2015. During this presentation we will look at real examples of student-adaptive testing, the hardware and scheduling logistics required, and the diagnostic benefits of district, school, class, and student reporting. We will do our best to answer questions about how districts and schools can prepare for a new era in assessment.
All educators are welcome to attend FREE. There is NO PRE-REGISTRATION. Those attending will be admitted FREE to the Lawrence Hall of Science and after the Seminar are welcome to view the Hall’s many wonderful science and math exhibits. Parking is ample–though there is a cost per hour for parking. Car-pooling is recommended.
