Through Reinventing Education, IBM and the Singapore Ministry of Education are implementing the Authentic Assessment Tool, technology developed as part of the Riverdeep Learning Village solution, to establish performance standards for student work and to strengthen assessment. The project is being implemented at a time when the country is challenging their traditional instructional and assessment practices, shifting from a lecture-based approach directed by teachers to a student project-based approach.
Using the tool, teachers are effectively assessing each student's progress toward reaching specific academic standards. Based upon their knowledge of a student's learning strengths and weaknesses, teachers are then able to tailor their instruction to help the student master necessary skills.
As part of outreach efforts, presentations and professional development activities throughout the South East Asia Region are under way.
