Description¶

The authors propose adapting student assessment by developing technology-enhanced items (TEIs) based on students' learning styles. The abstract states that "The authors suggest adapting student assessment utilizing technology-enhanced items (TEIs) developed based on students' LS may provide a more reliable measure of student ability." This is an implementable assessment-design strategy: item design follows the learner's classified learning style, with the intended benefit of more reliable ability measurement.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Student learning styles must be assessed so that TEIs can be developed based on students' LS

Constraints¶

• The reliability benefit is stated as a suggestion ('may provide'), not a tested result

Target Learners¶

• K-12 students

Target Learning Goals¶

• Reliable measurement of student ability

Affordances¶

• Learning Styles Theory Framework
