q2 · i? · theoretical · r2

The chapter's qualitative comparison of three assessments discussed in the Education Board's report: CWRA, PISA, and Key Stage 3 ICT. CWRA and PISA are described as limited by paper-based, test-item-focused formats; Key Stage 3 uses a virtual world with a walled garden of assets.

"The Key Stage 3 has more potential to measure the full range of 21st century capabilities, including digital literacies, because it is conducted in a virtual world and based on activities more sophisticated than making forced-choice decisions among a limited number of alternatives."
