largely formative assessments, including self/peer assessment
involves consequential validity - by doing the tasks, students learn
Assessment AS learningfrom the authentic curriculum/learning paradigm
continuous and includes self/peer assessment
Assessment Paradigm shifts

21st Century Skills
Web 2.0 is a trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to facilitate creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis and blogs.

A wiki (Hawaiian for ‘fast’) is software that allows registered users or anyone to collaboratively create, edit, link, and organize the content of a website, usually for reference material.
Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. These wiki websites are often also referred to as wikis.
Wikipedia is one of the best known wikis
Wikis
A blog (a contraction of the term "web log") is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
