Abstract
Typical assessment design activities primarily involve academic and psychometric experts and usually do not involve end users until the assessment is mostly complete. In contrast, design thinking is an approach that focuses heavily on the user experience as a source of input when generating creative solutions to problems. One tool that can support design thinking is the Innovator’s Compass (Ben-Ur, 2016). Design thinking using the compass leads to assessment tasks that are more innovative, motivating, and enjoyable for test takers. The paper includes concrete examples using the Innovator’s Compass to develop classroom assessments and provides implications for other testing applications.
