Assessing Student Learning is a standard reference for college faculty and administrators, and the third edition of this highly regarded book continues to offer comprehensive, practical, plainspoken guidance. The third edition adds a stronger emphasis on making assessment useful; greater attention to building a culture in which assessment is used to inform important decisions; an enhanced focus on the many settings of assessment, especially general education and co-curricula; a new emphasis on synthesizing evidence of student learning into an overall picture of an integrated learning experience; new chapters on curriculum design and assessing the hard-to-assess; more thorough information on organizing assessment processes; new frameworks for rubric design and setting standards and targets; and many new resources. Faculty, administrators, new and experienced assessment practitioners, and students in graduate courses on higher education assessment will all find this a valuable addition to their bookshelves.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This book takes a critical look at how students′ achievements are assessed for a range of purposes, from reporting progress to selection and qualification. It considers the relationship between what is taught, and how, and what and how learning outcomes are assessed. The impact of using assessment results for setting targets and evaluation of provision for learning is also discussed. The pros and cons of using tests and examinations and alternatives based on the judgments of teachers are considered in terms of four key criteria: validity, reliability, impact and required resources. Evidence from research and examples of current practice in different countries within and outside the UK support the case for making more and better use of teachers′ judgments in assessment of learning. In this way assessment of learning (summative assessment) can be compatible with assessment for learning (formative assessment).

BOOK EXCERPT:
The introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has ignited a fervent academic discourse. AI's role is as both a powerful ally and a potential adversary in education. For instance, ChatGPT is a generative AI which mimics human conversation with impressive precision. Its capabilities span the educational spectrum, from answering questions and generating essays to composing music and coding. Yet, as with any innovation, its advent has sparked a spirited academic dialogue. AI in Language Teaching, Learning, and Assessment seeks to address these concerns with rigor and thoughtfulness. It explores the undeniable drawbacks of AI in language education and offers strategic insights into their prevention. It scrutinizes the resources and safeguards required to ensure the ethical and secure integration of AI in academic settings. This book lays out the multifaceted benefits of incorporating AI into language teaching, learning, and assessment. Its chapters dissect the transformative impact of AI on pedagogy, teaching materials, assessment methodologies, applied linguistics, and the broader landscape of language education development. This book is a valuable resource for language learners, educators, researchers, and scholars alike. It beckons to those who are keen on exploring and implementing AI in education, as well as AI developers and experts seeking to bridge the chasm between technology and language education.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Assessment has provided educational institutions with information about student learning outcomes and the quality of education for many decades. But has it informed practice and been fully incorporated into the learning cycle? Conrad and Openo argue that the potential inherent in many of the new learning environments being explored by educators and students has not been fully realized. In this investigation of a variety of assessment methods and learning approaches, the authors aim to discover the tools that engage learners and authentically evaluate education. They insist that moving to new learning environments, specifically those online and at a distance, afford opportunities for educators to adopt only the best practices of traditional face-to-face assessment while exploring evaluation tools made available by a digital learning environment in the hopes of arriving at methods that capture the widest set of learner skills and attributes.

BOOK EXCERPT:
How Assessment Supports Learning: Learning-oriented Assessment in Action invites teachers in higher education to rethink the purposes of assessment and to revise their assessment practices in the interests of improved student learning. It combines practice, theory, research and extensive examples of assessment techniques to support academics in this vital part of their multi-faceted role. This book presents 39 innovative assessment practices from a range of disciplines and located in a clearly articulated theoretical framework. This framework is congruent with outcomes-based approaches, currently being implemented in universities in Hong Kong and elsewhere. The practices, which can be modified for use in a wide range of contexts, illustrate how assessment can be used to engage students in productive learning, provide genuinely helpful feedback efficiently, and help students learn to evaluate and improve the quality of their own work. The book concludes with suggestions for responding to challenges at the interface between assessment and learning.
