Inside the ICT Black Box

It looks like later this month there will be a new member in the famous and incredibly influentual Black Box series: Inside the ICT Black Box, taking a look at how formative assessment, assessment for learning and assessment as learning can be enhanced by the use of ICT.

Following on from the ground-breaking research outlined in Inside the Black Box (1998) and Working Inside the Black Box (2002), this booklet forms part of a new series offering concise and easy-to-implement advice on how to promote assessment for learning within secondary classrooms.

In this booklet, the authors Mary Webb and Margaret Cox focus on the needs and opportunities relevant to secondary ICT teachers and those teaching ICT as a subject. The ideas presented are based on substantial research evidence and have been widely shown to improve students’ learning and achievements. The booklet concludes with a discussion of the importance of planning, school support and team working in order to achieve policy change.
