In Rebooting Assessment: A Practical Guide for Balancing Conversations, Performances, and Products, author Damian Cooper argues classroom assessment practices have stagnated. This is because educators are not taking full advantage of technology-driven advancements to incorporate student performances and conversations with students as valid metrics for assessing what students have learned. Cooper and contributor Jeff Catania provide educators with a balanced assessment approach focused on conversations, performances, and physical products (written tests, essays, and so on) in which teachers use a variety of recording devices, from smartphones and tablets to webcams and dedicated video cameras, to capture visual and aural evidence of student learning as it happens in the classroom.
