Abstract

In line with other institutions, Eindhoven University of Technology is in need of developing policy on digital assessment that should cover the entire assessment process for summative and formative assessments. This paper discusses the use of the assessment cycle as a framework for that policy. The use of the assessment cycle resulted in a useful overview of the summative assessment process although not enough on formative assessment. To ensure the inclusion of formative assessment, we discuss the evidence for the effectiveness of ICT-functionalities in formative assessment. We conclude that an exploration of best practices and scientific evidence on the specific outcomes and effectiveness of digitalizing summative and formative assessment is a necessary step towards a well-founded policy on digital assessment. In the light of that direction, we developed an extended assessment cycle based on our findings as a framework for policy on digital assessment including formative assessment.
