Abstract
Assessment is a staple of formal learning environments and a useful concept for monitoring learning in informal information-rich environments as well. This chapter surveys the recent history of the assessment movement and positions the I-LEARN model as a framework that is especially well suited to a contemporary assessment of learning with information. The model is consistent with both traditional and current approaches to assessment, its structure lends itself to the design of assessment instruments, and it addresses current and emerging thinking about using information as a tool for learning. Above all, it provides a mechanism for linking learning and assessment in a holistic, authentic, and satisfying experience. Different in tone and structure from the preceding chapters, this chapter draws together and expands ideas introduced throughout the book. It addresses how I-LEARN can promote and assess learning with information not only in today’s information-rich environments but in those of the future as well.
