1.2.2. DEFINITIONS
- Assessment Tasks. Assessment tasks are defined as any assessment activities or methods that usually occur at the end of the learning cycle and their main goal is to check student’s content knowledge (Carless, 2013).
- Constructive alignment. It is a pedagogical practice when teaching, learning and assessment activities are directly linked to the intended learning outcomes in order to facilitate student learning (Biggs and Tang, 2007).
- Transparency. Within the scope of digital assessment, transparency refers to the openness and sharing of explicit assessment criteria with students, ensuring that they understand overall learning outcomes and indicators, and how they are connected. In addition to supporting accountability, transparency reinforces students’ involvement with the teaching and learning process, as well as self-regulation, by clearly outlining goals, strategies and marking schemes, all of which are timely communicated and can be discussed with students.
