Trends in Assessment

The pandemic seemed to kick off a wave of changes in assessment. There were multiple colleges and universities eliminating or making the SAT optional as an application element and many schools and teachers allowing more voice and choice for their students in how they demonstrate their mastery of standards. I noticed this article today on LinkedIn and am curious what your thoughts are....Are these moves away from traditional forms of assessment too much of a knee-jerk reaction to the pandemic or are we genuinely creating more authentic measures that will be sustainable? https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2021/06/25/british-universities-plan-post-covid-19-environment?utm_campaign=ihesocial&utm_content=british_universities_are_&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook
