Dear SEDA colleagues

I wonder if anyone could help me out with an academic reference that defines ‘Assessment’ and ‘Evaluation’. As a UK immigrant to Canada I find that my understanding of the two terms (‘Assessment’ as a measure of student learning and ‘Evaluation’ as a measure of student satisfaction) is not universally shared. It seems that in the US the terms are reversed, and in Canada they are interchangeable. Does anyone know of a reference that succinctly summarizes these differences?

Many thanks

Celia
