Session Submission Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

The use of technology in the educational measurement in cyberlearning environments presents new opportunities for better understanding of what students know and can do. This session will present a diverse set of educational researchers under the auspices of the CADRE network, with the goal of focusing on how technologies and emerging psychometric methods can be applied to enhance what we know about students’ knowledge and abilities and explore what methods of assessment development, scoring and reporting are needed to make those assessments as effective as possible. It will examine what reliability and validity mean in the new contexts created by advanced use of technology, and what methods might be applied in determining those qualities.
