Great article by Sean Gallagher. https://t.co/oW9zvPdAS2 "All kinds of new credentials are proliferating, but they aren’t guided by any consistent central framework, and they aren’t yet necessarily “compatible” in ways that can truly reshape job acquisition or degree attainment."

Validating Competencies and Skills Gained Through Rigorous Assessment This shows why high-stakes assessment is so time-consuming to do responsibly. What it doesn't address, however, is why performance assessment, not MC, is essential in the CBE context. https://t.co/lYYrEjb71m
