Authentic assessment directly examines student performance on worthy intellectual tasks. The student determines the topic, the time allotted, the pacing, and the conditions under which the examples are generated. Authentic assessment is labor intensive, time-consuming, and expensive. Technology can provide the means for students to reflect on authentic tasks that will be part of their professional life. The graduate programs in Library Media and Computer Education at the Wright State University College of Education and Human Services in Dayton (Ohio) require a portfolio as part of students' culminating activities. The portfolio requirements are explained in an entry course, and the portfolio is finished and presented during an exit course. There is an infusion of authentic assessment opportunities throughout the entire program of study for inclusion in the portfolio. For example, students assemble videotapes with examples of lessons taught and skill-dependent tasks, and students collaborate with faculty to solve problems via electronic mail. The use of technology in authentic assessment is beneficial in that students can be assessed on their knowledge; course assignments can support a variety of learning styles; and testing activities can replicate constraints and opportunities encountered in real-life professional situations.
