Recent advances in educational assessment, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence have made it possible to integrate valid assessment and instruction in the form of modern computer‐based intelligent systems. These intelligent systems leverage assessment information that is gathered from various sources (e.g., summative and formative). This paper analyzes the role of educational assessment in intelligent systems, summarizes the characteristics of successfully deployed intelligent systems, and describes an evidence‐based approach to incorporating valid and reliable assessments into enhanced intelligent systems.
