Siobhan Leahy has collected together a list of videos of me speaking on various topics that have found their way on to YouTube. I haven’t had time to go through them, and since some of the videos are quite old, I may no longer agree with what I said then, but of course that’s why we do research. The list is in Microsoft Word format and can be downloaded here.

PARLO (Proficiency-based Assessment and Reassessment of Learning Outcomes) is a research project funded by the National Science Foundation, investigating whether a new system of a proficiency-based, continuous assessment of learning leads to higher mathematics achievement, greater enrollment in challenging courses, and encourages students to stay in school. A presentation I gave to some of the teachers involved in the research, entitled ‘Formative assessment: definitions and relationships’ has been posted on YouTube in two parts, together with a trailer:
