Abstract

(d) examples of science assessment items and tasks developed using an integrated ECD/UDL approach and the design documentation that is generated during the process and (e) a review of these three assessment tasks in terms of their accessibility, technology enhanced features, implementation obstacles, scoring and validation methodologies, and efficiencies conferred in terms of costs and time. Six recommendations provide guidance about how an ECD process, including principles of UDL, improves validity of assessments and enhances their fairness in the context of technology enhanced assessments.
