Professor Stephen Ball

Emeritus Distinguished Professor, Institute of Education, University College London

What teachers traditionally needed to master -- curriculum, pedagogy and assessment - has now come under siege by the new realities of datafication and digitalization. Addressing both researchers and practitioners, the authors of this book brilliantly analyze these trends and show that digital learning assessments require from teachers a special kind of data literacy to inform reflective practice for improving student learning.

Professor Gita Steiner-Khamsi, Teachers College, Columbia University, New York and Director of NORRAG, the global network for international policies and cooperation in education and training

Much policy discussion in education is parochial, within the profession and with little account of parallel developments in other domains. On educational assessment, much practice is even more parochial, sometimes based on a claim that little of value can be known by other than the students' teachers. The value of this book lies in the scope that Wyatt-Smith, Lingard and Heck conceived for it and in the breadth of perspectives and experiences in education and in industry of the chapter authors whom they recruited. The book describes emerging developments and provides challenging and forward-looking insights.
