I received this from another list and wished to share.

All these links provide more data on what patrick has proposed and
examples of it in practice and food for thought.

What I like about the contents of these links is that everyone cna agree
with them and see how they can and perhaps should be employed, worldwide.
Technology, of course, plays a part or could play a part, and still not
compromise the need for proper assessment methods and results so we can
better inform our instruction rather than have instruction driven by the
current policy of assessment.

happy reading.

it, you have no certainty until you try.
