I have often asked, "what constitutes success in learning?" If not grades, then what? If not satisfying employer demands or getting jobs, then what? Eric Sheninger offers a list: "When designing lessons, projects, or assessments, consider whether or not they empower learners to:
- Engage in problem-solving
- Collaborate with peers
- Think critically and creatively
- Communicate clearly and accurately
- Develop open-mindedness
- Make real-world applications
- Reflect on learning
- Analyze, reason, and evaluate."
Now we could ask how we measure or evaluate these, and whether they are different in different contexts. But surely, if these are markers of success, then how we evaluate the success of learning technology would be rather different than, say, PISA test scores.
