February 2010 article re: research study that took place in 2006-2007 w/ 5-7 y.o. in Britain. Sought to research the combination of low-stakes e-assessments w/ formative assessment; found that e-assessments could be designed to give qualitative feedback that was more helpful than numerical feedback in determining student progress, strengths, weakness and next steps. B/c done via e-assessment, teachers could instantly receive the resulting profiles for each student.

While the mandatory PARCC and SBAC assessments are more summative in nature, I believe the optional mid-year assessments are meant to be more formative - does that seem right, Donna? Do you happen to know how schools will receive the results (i.e. score versus qualitative results)?

You might have to login to your MSU account in order to gain access. I know it's not very relevant to our SIG, but I thought it was interesting - it definitely makes you think that, in many ways, Smarter Balanced and PARCC are not THAT innovative.

While parts of this diverge from the focus of our SIG, it's really interesting and worth the read. In the tablet vs. computer section, it does discuss potential struggles for test-takers depending on the device. Depending on which one ends up being required (or if both are required), students might need to develop different sets of skills (or two sets of skills).
