Assessment here refers either to "formative evaluation" or "effectiveness evaluation."

Formative evaluation is intended to enhance a product as it is being developed. A primary issue here is the idea of usability - how do users respond to the interface, navigation, and visual design components of the system. In particular, how can those components of the system be modified to streamline the cognitive demands of the interface do not interfere with the educational goals of the system.

Effectiveness evaluation addresses issues such as assessing the system's impact on student learning. These modes of evaluation are closely related but distinct. Below we have included resources and publications related to both. (This may change as the Assessment related portion of the wiki expands. As always, feel free to contribute.)
