This is a quick query, though if you'd like it to become a WikiEducator discussion, that's fine!
For some work for the *British Journal of Educational Technology*, I have come across some evidence that the formative / summative assessment distinction is not clear in the US. I would like to pin this down further. As far as I recall, people are aware of the distinction in the last dozen or so countries in which I have worked. (The last occasion I recall there being a problem was in Kuwait in 1991.) So ... *(a) Do you have any feel for how widespread the distinction is (or how widespread the ignorance of it is)?* If so, please share your feeling with me. *(b) Do you believe the distinction is very clear / not very clear / unclear / unknown among educators in the country or region where you are working? *Please tell me your country / region in your reply. Very best wishes, especially if we've met and/or worked together in the past - Eric *(Dr) Eric Deeson: Consultancy in Education and Training Technology, Birmingham, UK Reviews Editor - British Journal of Educational Technology* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
