Congratulations! Dr. Valerie Shute is featured in 2016 National Educational Technology Plan

Dr. Valerie Shute is featured in the recently released 2016 U.S. Department of Education - National Education Technology Plan. It is the flagship educational technology policy document.

Dr. Shute's work was recognized for exhibiting some of the actions and attributes key to transforming learning through technology.

"I'm honored to have my research showcased," Dr. Shute said. "In addition to describing my ideas about using assessment to support learning via real-time feedback and within game environments, a section is devoted to my stealth or 'embedded' assessment work."

The 2016 National Education Technology Plan, Future Ready Learning: Reimagining the Role of Technology in Education, articulates a vision of equity, active use and collaborative leadership to make everywhere, all-the-time learning possible. While acknowledging the continuing need to provide greater equity of access to technology itself, the plan goes further to call upon all involved in American education to ensure equity of access to transformational learning experiences enabled by technology.
