| New forms of student assessment are designed to demonstrate what students are learning and what they can do with their knowledge. Known variously as "alternative" or "more authentic" measures, these assessments require students to "perform" in some way -- by writing, demonstrating, explaining, or constructing a project or experiment -- so they are also called "performance-based" tests.
