Drawing and Labelling: New Ways of Answering Questions on the Assessment Resource Banks
Fisher, Jonathan
set: Research Information for Teachers, n2 p46-48 2021
The Assessment Resource Banks (ARBs) offer an innovative space to explore how responsive assessment for learning can work off- and online with Aotearoa New Zealand teaching and learning situations. They are a freely available online repository of formative assessment tasks that link to "The New Zealand Curriculum" (Ministry of Education, 2007). In 2014, work began to redevelop a number of existing pencil-and-paper resources to interactive tasks that could be completed by students online. Now, in 2021, over half the 2,850 resources can be completed online, as well as downloaded as pencil-and-paper tasks. Many online-interactive assessment tasks use multiple choice or typing in short or long answers. While students responding online might be able to write to "explain" a thing, they couldn't "show their working" or "draw a …" without a new way to respond. As a result, ways that students could "show" or "draw" using a drawing tool panel began to be explored by ARB resource developers. This article discusses drawing and labelling online, examples of items that use the drawing tool, the benefits of online assessment and its future potential, and why ARBs are a useful tool to support flexible learning situations, wherever the learning takes place.
