An edited volume by Muhittin Sahin (University of Mannheim, Germany) and Dirk Ifenthaler (University of Mannheim, Germany and Curtin University, Australia)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Online assessment has been advancing rapidly in the context of higher education and its growth is set to accelerate with emerging opportunities for data collection and analysis. Yet, the future of online assessment faces major challenges including, perhaps most importantly, the extent to which assessments, when enabled by technology, can serve simultaneously the needs of learners, teachers and those of the enterprise of education. Online assessments may involve, for example, a pedagogical agent acting as a virtual coach patiently tutoring someone and providing feedback in anything they would like to learn; scaffolding students to complete a task and measuring how much support they need; an analysis of a learner\u2019s decisions during a digital game or simulation; students reviewing and commenting on each other\u2019s digital creations through an online discussion; a multimedia-constructed response item created with an online animation and modeling application; students receiving remote asynchronous expert feedback about how they worked with each other via IT to solve a problem and communicate their understanding; an emotionally engaging virtual world experience that unobtrusively documents progression of a person\u2019s leadership and ethical development over time; or semantic rich and personalized feedback as well as adaptive prompts for reflection through data-driven assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This edited volume collects original contributions which critically reflect the current state of research in educational assessment and identifies ways in how to harness data and analytics for assessment. It will also to present practical cases to stakeholders including the following tentative topics:
\u2022 Design principles of Assessment Analytics
\u2022 Determine the most important metrics or features\/attributes for Assessment Analytics
\u2022 The contributions of Assessment Analytics to field of Learning Analytics
\u2022 Dashboard design and visualization for Assessment Analytics
\u2022 Evaluation of the Assessment Analytics applications from the stakeholders\u2019 perspectives<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, the edited volume will present a collection of indicators or measurements focusing on learning processes and related behavior, (meta-)cognition, emotion and motivation, as well as social processes. In addition, each section of the book will include an invited commentary from a related field, such as educational psychology, cognitive science, learning science, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following presents a tentative table of contents including sections and possible key areas of the included contributions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-Modelling student behavioral engagement
-Measuring engagement with multimodal data
-Commentary from Learning Design or Learning Science<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-Measuring learning from text
-Learning strategies
-Metacognitive prompts and personalized scaffolding
-Commentary from Psychometrician or Cognitive Science<\/p>\n\n\n\n
