Dr. Valerie Shute is a professor of education in the Educational Psychology and Learning Systems department at Florida State University. She explores how watching someone play a game, whether an educational game or a mainstream game like Valve’s Portal 2, can provide a “stealth assessment” of cognitive and noncognitive knowledge and skills — and support learning new skills, from computer coding to creativity. She’s the co-author, with Matthew Ventura, of Stealth Assessment: Measuring and Supporting Learning in Video Games.
