Introduction to Transformative Assessment Use Cases with RM Compare - A 3 part blog series

Assessment plays a critical role in education, shaping how students learn, teachers teach, and institutions measure success. However, the traditional methods of assessment often fail to capture the full spectrum of learning experiences and outcomes. RM Compare offers a groundbreaking approach by leveraging Adaptive Comparative Judgement (ACJ) technology to transform assessment practices across diverse use cases. This three-part blog series will explore three key applications of assessment—Assessment As Learning, Assessment For Learning, and Assessment Of Learning—and demonstrate how RM Compare empowers educators and learners alike.
