Assessment and Evaluation

Assessment and Evaluation Community

There is considerable enthusiasm at MIT for the improvement of teaching and learning using methods of assessment and evaluation.  TLL provides an intellectual home for faculty and researchers interested in assessment and evaluation, and the number is growing each year. The office participates in national and international conferences and workshops that focus on assessment and evaluation in science and engineering and hosts assessment and evaluation professionals outside the MIT community.

Topical workshops are sometimes held during the year as well as during the January Independent Activities Period (IAP) to:

• Create a community for the free exchange of ideas about assessment and evaluation at the Institute
• Provide a casual forum for the presentation of projects conducted at the Institute
• Address the technical challenges encountered in projects at the Institute in a supportive and collaborative environment
• Present guest speakers on topics of interest to the larger assessment and evaluation community at the Institute.

TLL invites interested people to Contact the Staff regarding assessment and evaluation services and participation in our community events.
