Educators worldwide face the challenge of assessing students effectively. The shift to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for interactive assessments to keep students engaged, whether in-person or online. For instance, interactive displays became valuable tools for remote learning and adhering to social distancing guidelines when students returned to in-class instruction. Digital display solutions enabled collaborative learning, firmly establishing interactive assessments as a modern educational foundation. 

As educators, the beginning of a new school year brings with it a profound responsibility: Designing and facilitating assessments that honor each student's unique strengths and needs. Inclusive assessment preparation isn't just a task - it's a fundamental commitment to fostering equitable learning environments. What are some essential steps to create assessments that accommodate diverse abilities, including students with hearing loss, varying English language levels, and Individualized Education Plans?  

Assessment isn’t a new idea or one limited to teaching. We assess daily – What is it that I like about this TV show and should I watch it again? What criteria will I look for in my next sofa purchase? What is my diet goal and how will I check my progress in meeting that goal? Learners of all ages are regularly assessing things like clothes, games, movies, even social media platforms according to a set of criteria.
