Dr. Marina Kostina suggested, "Digital worlds offer great opportunities for development of more sophisticated measures of assessment of learner’s knowledge and skills," and pointed out a suite of assessment rubrics that she'd found on "a professional development page of the website of the University of Wisconsin-Stout" (2012.01.25).

"The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA ) is an internationally standardised assessment that was jointly developed by participating countries and administered to 15-year-olds in schools. PISA assesses how far students near the end of compulsory education have acquired some of the knowledge and skills that are essential for full participation in society" (¶1, retrieved 2011.04.15).

"Though Crusan (2010), Ericsson and Haswell (2006), and Shermis and Burstein (2003) offered a more thorough treatment of machine scoring in general, in this article, I concentrate on one program―MY Access! (Vantage Learning, 2007)―briefly describing it and discussing a small study conducted in a graduate writing assessment seminar at a midsize Midwestern university in which graduate students examined second language writers’ attitudes about using the program as a feedback and assessment tool for their writing in a sheltered ESL writing class" (¶2).

several problems are inherent in machine scoring.
First, though Ferris (2003) claimed that students will improve over time if they are given appropriate error correction and that students use teacher-generated feedback to revise things other than surface errors, students rarely use programs like MY Access! to revise anything other than surface errors (Warschauer & Grimes, 2008); paragraph elements, information structure, and register-specific stylistics are largely ignored. Second, although teachers can create their own prompts for use with the program (more than 900 prompts are built into MY Access! to which students can write and receive instantaneous feedback.), MY Access! will score only those prompts included in the program. Third, regarding essay length, in many cases, MY Access! seems to reward longer essays with higher scores; consequently, it appears that MY Access! assumes that length is a proxy for fluency.

Overall, students’ opinions regarding MY Access! were mixed; students found useful aspects as well as aspects they termed less helpful.

Outlines Guy Claxton's Building Learning Power program, and asserts that: "As students are being coached in how to be usefully reflective about their own learning journeys, they are also developing collaboration skills and developing a richer meta-language in which to talk, not just about the content of their learning, but bout its process as well" (para. 4).
