Evidence-centered design (ECD) is an approach to assessment development that emphasizes meaningful measures of students’ mastery of the content and skills they have learned. Technology-enhanced items (TEIs) can help teachers design assessments that more effectively target the desired learning outcomes. The following chart suggests learning outcomes that are particularly appropriate for common TEI types; relevant Common Core State Standards are also provided. (These suggestions represent only a fraction of the possible connections between learning outcomes and TEI types.)
