Journal: Imagine administering an online standardized test to an entire class of 11th-grade students when, halfway through the exam, your server holding the test hits a snag and throws everyone offline. Imagine another scenario in which your elementary school has very few computers so you must bus your students to the local high school for a timed test. At the new test site, six students suddenly refuse to take the test and begin crying, while simultaneously more than half of the students discover they have trouble reaching the keyboards. These scenarios demonstrate that there are many risks in using computers to test students. However, thinking ahead about the needs of students, the testing site and the system being implemented limits the potential for problems to arise during testing. http://www.thejournal.com/magazine/vault/A4769.cfm

Journal: Many educators struggle to discover the proper assessment strategies for students. Systemic reform and the standards movement introduce clarity and accountability in assessing our students. Though proven to be efficient, standardized assessment such as multiple-choice tests often turn teachers away as they may not align with their classroom practices or accurately measure students‘ abilities. Portfolio-based assessment and, more recently, the electronic portfolio have been seen as an alternative to standardized tests. An e-portfolio collects student work for individual teachers to grade and critique. http://www.thejournal.com/magazine/vault/A4757.cfm
