Assessment Network

Developing research informed digital assessment

Our Digital High Stakes Assessment Programme uses research to inform the assessment design process and evaluate the quality of assessments. At this latest thought-leadership seminar, researchers from VardyTests will present work on identifying constructs, building validity into digital assessments, and the impact these new assessments might have on classroom practices.
