Assessment « Engage the Learner What is the Assessment? Assessment includes testing, evaluation and measurement. It uses both summative and formative evaluation to monitor student progress and structure future assignments that may be beneficial to the student. Generally it is used to make a particular educational decision.

When making an assessment, it is important to use many evaluative measures that may or may not include monitoring and testing.

Amazing Waterfowl Facts Waterfowl are among the most diverse and interesting creatures on the planet. Inhabiting every continent except Antarctica, ducks, geese, and swans can be found just about everywhere there's water, from the High Arctic to the tropics and from the ocean to the desert. To survive in these varied environments, waterfowl have incredible abilities and do amazing things. Have you ever wondered which duck flies fastest, migrates farthest, or dives deepest? All of this continent's waterfowl can dive, but some species are much better at it than others. Female wood ducks must ingest 75 grams (2.6 ounces) of invertebrates to obtain enough protein and minerals to produce one egg. Female green-winged teal can weigh as little as six ounces, making them the smallest of North America's waterfowl. The largest of North America's waterfowl is the trumpeter swan, which can tip the scales at more than 35 pounds. Most waterfowl fly at speeds of 40 to 60 mph, with many species averaging roughly 50 mph.

It’s also good to know that the whole focus here is on lifelong learning. I mean that not so much in the sense of accumulating knowledge about specific topics but rather in the spirit of how we can continually learn, grow, and live the most fulfilling lives possible. You will find plenty here about specific learning resources, but you will also find general perspectives on what it means to be a lifelong learner in a hyper-connected world, how to develop and improve learning habits, and how to actually get the most out of what you have learned (which is nearly always more than you realize!) in every day life.
