Rupp, Andre A.; Gushta, Matthew; Mislevy, Robert J.; Shaffer, David Williamson – Journal of Technology, Learning, and Assessment, 2010
We are currently at an exciting juncture in developing effective means for assessing so-called 21st-century skills in an innovative yet reliable fashion. One of these avenues leads through the world of "epistemic games" (Shaffer, 2006a), which are games designed to give learners the rich experience of professional practica within a discipline.…
