Session No. XXXX Assessment and Technology Enhanced Learning Mysore Narayanan Miami UniversityAbstractAssessment practices currently employed normally focus on two critically importantaspects. Student learning styles and instructor teaching methodologies. But, inreality, assessment techniques should actually analyze and examine the interactionbetween the two key players, namely the student and instructor. (Grasha, 1990,1996). Many tools used in assessment of learning often document students'knowledge. However, they do not examine how classroom practices havecontributed to specific learning
