			Smarter Balanced Assessments

			The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium is developing a system of valid, reliable, and fair next-generation assessments aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in English language arts/literacy (ELA/literacy) and mathematics for grades 3-8 and 11. The system—which includes both summative assessments for accountability purposes and optional interim assessments for instructional use—will use computer adaptive testing technologies to the greatest extent possible to provide meaningful feedback and actionable data that teachers and other educators can use to help students succeed.

	~~Hi tim,~~

	~~I noticed you signed up for Boundless as an educator, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the service we're providing. In particular,~~

	~~- Would you assign Boundless as is, or would you need more, such as the ability to customize, teacher materials, homework assignments, or other features?~~

	~~- How would you rate Boundless based on your initial experience?~~

	~~I’d love to hear any feedback you have via email, or if you’d like to set up a quick phone call, please let me know!~~

	~~Thanks for sharing your thoughts,~~

	~~Hi Ariel,~~
	~~I love your blog. You guys are master aggregators of knowledge. The interface is cool. Search is great.~~

	;notes and highlights :I taught that the process of highlighting is also the process of getting rid of extra words but still conveying a sentence-like idea. I'd like the added notes to be inline with the quoted material and I'd like an easy way to delete words. I don't need to know YOU HIGHLIGHTED and ADDED NOTES but would like my highlights categorized in bigger categories (like chapter) and smaller categories .

	~~;glossary and other mining :Your technology seems ripe for other way to sort and mine and present the material. I look forward to your progress here.~~

	;questions exercises and problems: both interspersed in the presentation and at the end of sections. You can correct them and grade them and redirect students to the appropriate material and to supplementary material and track them for the student because you're not a textbook. Isn't adaptive the big investor buzz word. (second only to accountability systems):(

	;where is the writing?: Doesn't take much server space to store a lot of text. You could store writing exercises with the notes. Geez you've got a writing text that never asks you to write. You don't have to read it. But you have an potentially huge...

	;social network: that might like to see how somebody else responded. Don't be afraid of plagiarism. It only happens if you've got nothing to say. In theory, in online learning you would have more to say to more people. And they could...

	~~;help : each other. Like Stack Exchange.~~

	~~BTW, I signed up because I'm looking for a job in this ed-tech space:)~~

	~~Good Luck,~~
