Assessment for learning is best described as a process in which:
Teaching, learning, and assessment are inextricably linked. Each informs the other.
The focus of assessment for learning is to improve teacher practice and optimise outcomes for students by using the information assessment provides. In technology, formative assessment data should be gathered in ways that are appropriate to the learner and the nature of the intended learning.
