CARLA’s Virtual Assessment Center (VAC) has recently undergone a major revision. The VAC is a series of web-based learning modules that provides teachers with background information, step-by-step guidance, and many practical resources on developing proficiency-based second language assessments for the classroom.

Now there is reason to visit the VAC again. The text throughout the website has been updated, and new activities to help teachers reflect on the content of each learning module have been added. Also new in the “Creating an Assessment Unit” module are video recordings of teachers discussing each step of the assessment development process. Each video has pre-viewing questions and post-viewing reflection exercises. The videos provide background information from experts in the field, and best of all, they showcase the experience of classroom teachers!

The VAC is available at http://www.carla.umn.edu/assessment/vac/index.html
