Background and Motivation
• Educational technologies can address the expectations of
students
• In RSA many students attended dysfunctional schools; NB to
supplement their knowledge and skills for the global society they
will work and live in
• Current assessment practises tend to focus on ‘assessment of
learning’ and not ‘assessment for learning’
• Fails in supporting students to become self-regulated life-long
learners
• Encourage deep-learning practises

Learning and Assessment
• Lecturers who prepare authentic learning activities for
students will likely make assessment tasks more authentic and
are more likely to cater for the complexity that is part of
assessing 21st century skills
• Inclined to use technology
