Performance Assessment Tools for Distance Learning and Simulation: Knowledge, Models and Tools to Improve the Effectiveness of Naval Distance Learning

Abstract

This report describes research conducted by the UCLA National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) and its subcontractor, the University of Southern California Behavioral Technology Laboratories (BTL), on performance assessment tools developed by (a) extending CRESST's knowledge mapping tool's authoring and scoring functionality and (b) providing the capability to embed a knowledge mapping assessment in simulation-based training developed by BTL. Products are described in detail including the knowledge mapping tool with authoring and scoring systems, performance-based assessments, an instructional simulation providing interactive training, and the performance-based assessments embedded in the instructional simulation.
