	Alternative Assessment and Technology. ERIC Digest.
		Altering assessment practices is likely to affect curriculum, teaching methods, and students' understanding of the meaning of their work.
		A newly designed assessment system must accurately measure and promote the complex thinking and learning goals that are known to be critical to students' academic success and to their eventual sustained achievement and contribution to their communities.
		The view of assessment carried over from the last century is that there are underlying mental traits and that a test is a sample behavior which provides an imperfect measure of the underlying characteristic the test was meant to measure.

	Learning With Technology Profile Tool
		Assessments are meaningful, challenging experiences that involve presenting students with an authentic task, project, or investigation, and then observing, interviewing and/or examining their artifacts and presentations to assess what they actually know and can do.
		Assessment standards and tools are developed by the teacher and fully explained to students before they begin their work.
		Assessment standards and tools are discussed, created, agreed upon, and used by both the teacher and students to judge and report on the quality of their products and performances.

	Technology assessment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Technology assessment (TA, German Technikfolgenabschätzung) is the study and evaluation of new technologies.
		Also, technology assessment recognizes the fact that scientists normally are not trained ethicists themselves and accordingly ought to be very careful when passing ethical judgement on their own, or their colleagues´, new findings, projects, or work in progress.
		Technology assessment assumes a global perspective and is future-oriented rather than backward-looking or anti-technological.

	ITA: What is TA?
		Technology assessment provides input for the elaboration of technology policies which are not oriented exclusively towards technical efficiency and economic rationality but which also consider the social and ecological consequences of the introduction of specific technologies.
		"Technology Assessment" (TA) uses an interdisciplinary approach in its systematic and comprehensive analysis of the possible consequences of the use of particular technologies (not necessarily "new" ones).
		There is no such thing as a "technology assessment method" as such, because it is not a single method but the variety of methods – or method mix – and specific procedure that characterise a successful investigation.

	Technology & Assessment
		In particular, the authentic assessment strategies that are used with Internet-based activities are often in conflict with the usual process by which the schools report student grades.
		Ideally, the fundamental role of assessment is to provide authentic and meaningful feedback for improving student learning, instructional practice, and educational options.
		Depending on its assessment purposes, a portfolio may contain a range of work over time; work selected by you, your students, or both; samples selected to show how the learning objectives were met; student self-reflection; your feedback; work-in-progress; best pieces; unsuccessful pieces; group and individual work; and rough drafts.

		Also includes the assessment of costs to determine whether equipment is appropriate and excluding any that does not provide any benefit to the patient and promoting that which does.
		Decline — as the technology is increasingly supplanted by superior new technology.
		Higher rate of technology has also resulted by an increase in the specialty professions of physicians who are likely to use the tools available to them to perform the greatest maximum of health care services.

	Technology Literacy Assessment - Chapter Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Technology Literacy Assessment (TLA) Work Group began answering the key questions by first developing a common definition of "technology literacy." They then developed a set of criteria states could use when assessing technology literacy levels of students and a continuum of assessment strategies for gathering this data.
		The TLA Work Group defined technology literacy as the ability to responsibly use appropriate technology to communicate, solve problems, and access, manage, integrate, evaluate, and create information to improve learning in all subject areas and to acquire lifelong knowledge and skills in the 21st Century.
		An assessment continuum was also created by the group in an effort to assist education leaders in connecting with appropriate avenues for collecting data, or finding evidence to initiate or implement an effective assessment process.
