Abstract

Global advancements, competitions and economic growth have lead to a drastic change in the technological world. The impact of technology both individually as well as collectively changed our life significantly. Nomatter whether it is commercial, transportation, banking, political, or educational field technology has done wonders in all ways. With the leaps and bounds in technological field educationists still make efforts towards new achievement and goals especially in the field of teaching-learning worlds also. If we talk about today’s classroom conditions, we are still lagging behind in many aspects. We are not upto mark or update. So there is a need of adoption and inclusion of ICT and technology resources to be linked to our curriculum system. The role of teacher is quite important in molding shape of our coming generations and modern society. The teacher should make use of innovative devices and strategies while teaching in the classroom situations. The teaching-learning without innovations and technological based devices is meaningless unless we strengthen our whole educational system in terms of technology-based teacher’s professional development through in-service or pre-services trainings, incorporation of latest electronic gadgets and devices in teaching-learning system etc. Thus, this paper focus on the universal design for learning practices for classroom testing and assessment practices, which is designed to minimize errors, adverse consequences, and unintentional actions to assist students in using them safely and efficiently. This paper has directed about the perceptions about the usability of web sites addressing technology which includes the new technologies, approaches, strategies and techniques to be adopted in the classroom for strengthening the potential and competencies of the students. The main objectives of the paper are- (1) To find out the latest techniques, tools and technology based on the classroom assessment and resources. (2) To find out the usability of the websites addressing new technologies and strategies. (3)To make students understand about technological usage for enhancing motivation and feedback thereby reducing errors and mistakes. For this research paper, the researcher consulted various conceptual research frameworks, reviews and trends in studies related to the use of web-sites enhancing technologies,strategies, equipments and resources. The results of the study highlighted major concerns in order to monitor the technology proficiency of the students, one must use multiple methods for presenting the instruction; use multiple assessment formats and tools to support one towards academic progress. Thus, the teachers, educators, stakeholders all have to monitor the technology-based curriculum process supporting assessment and evaluation tools, techniques and resources. Thus, it directs about the perceptions about the usability of web sites addressing technology-based CASER(Classroom assessment strategies, equipments, and resources), relying on the ICT based web- based tools and applications, which includes the new technologies, approaches strategies and techniques to be adopted in the classroom for strengthening the potential and competencies of the students to meet the global challenges for future-oriented education.
