About the DAL

Victorian schools are able to register a new online library of formative classroom assessments, the Digital Assessment Library (DAL).

The DAL provides high quality, online assessments that are designed to provide teachers with meaningful and timely information about student learning.

Assessments are being released progressively, across a range of learning areas, focused on:

• results to assist teachers to identify what students know and what they are ready to learn next
• information for teachers to target teaching and form instructional groups based on student ability
• valid, reliable and standardised measures of learning closely aligned to the Victorian Curriculum F-10.

Linear assessments in Mathematics and English (Reading), aligned to the Victorian Curriculum are currently available. The DAL will provide assessments across a range of areas including Science, Health and Physical Education and Critical and Creative Thinking.

The DAL does not require the installation of any additional software on student devices and is supported on all major internet browsers on desktops, laptops and tablets.

Please note that DAL assessments are to be completed by students in a classroom setting.

The DAL is part of the Education State.
