Introduction
Evidence-centered Design is both a design and evaluation method create by Robert J. Mislevy and collaborators.
According to Shute (2010:139), the ECD process “begins by identifying what should be assessed in terms of knowledge, skills, or other learner attributes. These variables cannot be observed directly, so behaviors and performances that demonstrate these variables need to be identified instead. The next step is determining the types of tasks or situations that would draw out such behaviors or performances.”
Evidenced-centered design and evaluation is particular important for designs that stress higher-level applicable knowledge. That could include interactive software like so-called "epistemic games", i.e. “games designed to give learners the rich experience of professional practica within a discipline. They serve to develop domain-specific expertise based on principles of collaborative learning, distributed expertise, and complex problem-solving.” (Rupp et al. 2010).
