"Scholar" - a new platform for Assessing Learning

Thanks to Eleni Zazani for her LinkedIn posting / blog posting Assess and be assessed as a Scholar

Eleni feels that it supports deep learning and could work as part of an Information Literacy Assessment plan.

It is also said to:

• encourage positive motivational beliefs
• develop self-assessment and reflection
• inform and shape your teaching

"The tool is the outcome of the collective work of a research team supported by the U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences across four grants. Unlike the majority of technologies that have been developed with the commercial domain’s needs in mind, and were later embraced by educators who tried to find innovative ways to use them in the classroom setting,  Scholar is one of  the very few learning technologies that have been created by educators to support the learning process with diagnostic assessment being in its core."

Sounds like worth a look.
