21st Century Assessment: Redesigning to Optimize Learning

This poster presents design implications related to findings from research on the development of Interactive Learning Assessments (ILAs). Standardized assessments using multiple choice questions cannot measure the most critical aspects of learning for the 21st century. ILAs place students in advisory roles, leveraging a place-based metaphor to navigate, learn, then give counsel in situations in which they do not already know how to solve the problem; we assess how students learn to learn.
