An initiative of the Society for the Advancement of Excellence in Education

Welcome to the Future of Student Assessment Over the past decade, assessment has become a central feature of the educational environment. Emerging technology promises a revolutionary shift in the future delivery and management of assessment and holds potential to deliver significant advantages in the assessment OF and FOR learning in the K-12 system. In 2004, the Society for the Advancement of Excellence in Education established TASA Institute in 2004 to examine the application of technology to student assessment and study rapidly unfolding developments in this field. The purposes of the Institute are: 1. To document trends, leading-edge prototypes, evidence regarding their effectiveness, best practice, and implications for policy in the field of technology-delivered student assessment. 2. To develop a next-generation assessment toolset and process, leveraging the considerable strengths of computer and online technologies. 3. To collaborate with Ministries of Education, school districts, testing agencies and international researchers in the piloting and evaluation of computer assisted assessment models. 4. To serve as a clearinghouse for research and provide a source of expertise to schools, districts, and ministries/departments of education on the design, implementation, and use of computer based assessment.
