Book Review

Though focused on compulsory school systems, this book is highly relevant to all who work in schools, colleges and universities. It is a collection of papers from around the world offering a radical and critical analysis of current developments in both assessment (especially high-stakes testing, but also the use of testing for assessment generally), analytics and the deployment of technology-enabled learning. Great contributions by some leading scholars here – Sam Sellar, Ben Williamson, David Rutowski, Greg Thompson, Anna Hogan – it is strongly focused on the dynamics and tensions associated with digital transformation.
