Some materials in this assessment as well as the process grew out of
research and practice based on the Equipped for the Future Standards
Framework. The Equipped for the Future Assessment Report: How Instructors
Can Support Adult Learners Through Assessment by Sri Ananda is

The SABES series Adventures in Assessment has been another
valuable resource.
