TEFA Workshop - in conjunction with EC TEL 13 Please feel free to circulate it among your networks [http://m-smadi.blogspot.com/2013/06/workshop-on-technology-enhanced.html]==================================================================== Workshop on Technology-Enhanced Formative Assessment (TEFA) 2013 Dates: 17 and 18 September 2013 Place: Paphos, Cyprus. This workshop is initiated by the special interest group on Technology Enhanced Assessment and Feedback (SIG TEA) of the European Association of Technology-Enhanced Learning (EA-TEL: http://ea-tel.eu) and two other experts from the assessment field. The Workshop is held in conjunction with the 8th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning 2013. AbstractThe goal of the workshop is to develop the notion of technology-enhanced formative assessment (TEFA) as a component for extending existing or new TEL approaches, further combining expertise from pedagogy, educational measurement, cognitive science, and information technology. A trend from dedicated to integrated and from sporadic to continuous formative assessment is envisioned. Challenging research questions will be addressed such as: How are established forms of formative assessment changing with the inclusion of technology and what new forms of formative assessment become possible? How is this reflected in new pedagogical approaches? How can today VLE support the provision of elaborated feedback? Extensive description Position statement submissions are solicited (6 pages max. in Springer Format) that deal with approaches and innovative assessment technologies that support the transition from current assessment scenarios towards the development of e-assessment forms through which high level of meta-cognitive skills are evaluated, on-going feedback is provided, and students are more engaged in the learning process.fileadmin/institut/pdf/CFP-TEFA_Workshop_2013_at_ECTEL.pdf CFPs flyer Paper submission : please email to eric.rastudor.lu Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):· formative assessment in adaptive systems · formative assessment for users with special needs · formative assessment for 21st Century skills · mobile assessment · feedback technologies · integrated e-assessment, embedded assessment · location-based/context aware educational feedback · (automated) item design and generation · automated analysis of open answers · alignment of formative and summative feedback · peer-assessment · learning analytics for assessment purposes · standard-conform e-assessment, flexible e-ssessment, interoperable e-assessment · e-assessment in complex learning - i.e. collaborative learning, serious games, 3D worlds and digital stories, discussion forums · learning analytics and assessment · assessment rubrics The workshop provides an interdisciplinary forum in which scientists and practitioners can exchange new ideas and applications on technology-enhanced formative assessment and evaluation for learning.
