Abstract

The current mandates of the "No Child Left Behind Act", as well as the emphasis on standards and data-driven decision making, have dramatically increased the importance of K-12 assessment. On-line assessment, with its advantages of easy grading and immediate feedback, is becoming more common, but there is growing recognition that efforts need to go beyond computerizing multiple choice tests to the development of assessments that capitalize on the computer's multimedia capabilities and facilitate learning in ways that paper measures cannot (Bennett, 2002). Another issue is that little work has been done with younger children, and particularly non-readers. This paper describes a multi-state project for the development of assessments embedded into multimedia instruction designed for K-4th graders. Results show that on-line assessment technology can be successfully used with young children and that multimedia activities provide a rich context of assessment information.
