Abstract
Considering the importance of the digital aspects of our society, we must rely on the opportunities offered by technology for improving assessment. This paper presents a study that indicates the development and use of mobile technologies in participatory assessment processes, with the intention of encouraging students' critical and evaluative judgement. For this, design-based research [1] is used to follow a mixed intervention design, in which assessment as learning and empowerment (student participation and feedback) will be put into practice through the use of mobile technologies. The sample will be composed of 1,065 students on different Bachelor's and Master's degree courses at three public universities in Spain. The study sets out to demonstrate the value added by Technology-Enhanced Assessment (TEA) to the emerging field of mobile learning, as well as its contribution to the development of students' evaluative judgement.
