Join us for this episode of The Assessment Salon Podcast with Dr. Mark Pleiss (he/him), where we ask the key question: how can we test if our (assessment) structures are working? And explore the role that formative tools play in holistic approaches to assessment, especially in online learning. We also tackle the looming reality of the "cyborg student" and chat about adopting the long-view to embrace the future of ed-tech, career readiness, and more.
