TEST • When you saw the word “test”, what came to mind? • Why do we “give tests”? • Are some ways of “testing” better than others? • What makes a “good test”?
What is Evidence Centered Design? • A way to build tests and document the process • Start with what we want to say about person being tested • Reason back to what information we need to know • Conclude with what situations will give us that information
Documenting the ECD Process • What do we want the test to assess? • Focal Knowledge, Skills and Abilities • Additional Knowledge, Skills and Abilities • What kind of evidence do we need to see? • Expected student actions (outcomes) • Valuation of student activities • What situations will get that information? • What features need to be present • What features could be present
A “crazy” idea? • What if we design video games in that way? • Would such a process be possible? • Would such a process be associated with “good” video games? • What makes a “good video game”? • Could we show why such a game was good? • Would ECD need to be modified to improve game design process?

What makes a “good” video game? • How do you define good • What Focal Knowledge, Skills and Abilities? • What Additional Knowledge, Skills and Abilities? • What do players need to do in a good game? • Expected actions • “Value” of these actions • What features are needed in a good game? • Features that need to be present • Features that could be present
