The Learning NGO
The concept of the learning organization has spawned a number of books within the corporate sector. The ideas underpinning this concept have a generic appeal and as a result, organizational learning is the subject of increasing interest in the NGO sector and the not-for-profit world more widely. This paper sets out to examine the relevance of the learning organization concept for NGOs and concludes that the ideas have significant relevance for the sector. The paper aims to provide NGO staff with a conceptual framework for the subject - its purpose is not simply to describe the characteristics of a learning organization but to encourage NGOs to examine their organizations in the light of these characteristics. For this reason the paper includes a diagnostic tool (the learning NGO questionnaire) which NGOs can use to assess their current capacity for organizational learning.

Cognitively Diagnostic Assessment
During the past two or three decades, research in cognitive science and psychology has yielded an improved understanding of the fundamental psychological nature of knowledge and cognitive skills that psychological testing attempts to measure. These theories have reached sufficient maturity, making it reasonable to look upon them to provide a sound theoretical foundation for assessment, particulary for the content of assessments. This fact, combined with much discontentedness over current testing practices, has inspired efforts to bring testing and cognitive theory together to create a new theoretical framework for psychological testing -- a framework developed for diagnosing learners' differ...

In doing so, they cover a broad range of communicative activities, including text comprehension, conversational communication, argumentation, television or media viewing, and more.
