Most assessments done in school systems are done after a lesson is taught and is created to show only if a student has learned the material being presented. However, I believe that little is done to measure students progress during the learning process to help them learn better.

However, I believe that our current school systems have made some adjustments to utilize technology in assessment. For example, it helps us create more effective testing experiences and provide improvements in assessment. Also, technology helps teach us what we should be assessing in student learning.

Obviously there are going to be certain criteria that the students must follow when being tested outside the classroom, but it allows students to have the opportunity to correctly research something, acquire the knowledge, and then project it on an assessment.
