My presentation at the UK itslearning client forum June 12th 2012 in Birmingham. The presentation gave a brief overview of the concept of assessment for learning (afl) and demonstrated how itslearing can support it. I talked about the potential of combining physical and online classrooms and presented the work behind the itslearning whitepaper on assessment for learning. The whitepaper can be downloaded at http://www.itslearning.eu/assessment-for-learning

12. Five
key
strategies
of
formative
assessment:
1. Clarifying,
sharing,
and
understanding
learning
intentions
and
criteria
for
success
2. Engineering
effective
classroom
discussions,
activities,
and
learning
tasks
that
elicit
evidence
of
learning
3. Providing
feedback
that
moves
learning
forward
4. Activating
learners
as
instructional
resources
for
one
another
5. Activating
learners
as
owners
of
their
own
learning
13. Three roles:
• Teacher
• Peer
• Learner
Three key processes:
• Find out where the learners are
• Find out where they are going
• Finding out how to get there

14. 1. The teacher should tell
students about the
learning goals.
2. Find out what students
currently know as it
relates to the learning
goal.
3. Act on the gap between
what students know and
what they need to learn.
16. «Higher
expectations
for
the
homework»
«Students
are
more
prepared
for
class»
«Students
become
more
secure
for
own
presentation
in
class»
«The
students
are
traditionally
sent
home
to
do
the
most
challenging
work.»
«Better
use
of
the
valuable
and
expensive
classroom
time»
