Knowledge and skills assessed align clearly to the stated content and performance expectations.

The most important aspects of the expectations are targeted and are given appropriate weight/attention in the assessment.

Technology is utilized as a means to foster learner participation, engagement, and reflection.

The level of difficulty is a result of the complexity of the content and performance expectations rather than the design or implementation method of the assessment.
