Students study and learn based on the way they are tested. the type of assessment anticipated appears to influence how and what they learn. Therefore, the quickest way to change the way students learn is to change the way learning is assessed.
The traditional paper-and-pencil tests are not adequate to assess learning in a constructivist technology-supported learning. The authentic forms of assessment such as performance and product assessment, are more reliable and adequate to measure students communication, analytical, integrative, evaluative and collaborative skills. In a technology-supported learning environment the students are not only users of technology product, they themselves are authors of technology product. scoring rubrics are therefore, a must in assessment.
