Information technology presents unique assessment challenges.
With IT literacy, students need to be exposed to meaningful and rich learning experiences that are integrated and problem-based. Students then find it easier to make connections and apply their learning in new and different contexts. The process of integration promotes the need for a more holistic assessment strategy.

A healthy menu of of assessment options would include a blend of qualitative approaches, formative and summative techniques, and a mix of instructor, external, peer, and self-evaluation.
