Authentic assessment … the bridge between theory andpractice

Technology … creating authentic

learning environments

Employers need critically thinking problem-solvers

Rather than test-passers

Learners can no longer ‘mug up’

The First Law of the Internet states that the answer is on the Internet. Therefore the quest is no longer “Where to find the answer” but “How to word the question”.
