Principal Investigator:
Ingrid Erickson

This working group proposes to seek out, analyze, test, and model the mechanisms, strategies, and protocols that are emerging as alternatives to traditional assessment as a way of moving the discourse on alternative assessment forward within the community, while solving the practical assessment needs of two learning communities in specific, the New Youth City Learning Network (NYC LN) and Peer-to-Peer University (P2PU).
