<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Abstract:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since the introduction of DIALANG (Alderson & Huhta, 2005), technological advances have made possible timely, dynamic, and multi-agent delivery of assessment results and feedback for learners. In particular, new horizons have opened with
performative task designs infused with authentic audio and video stimuli (Wagner, 2008), spontaneous performance modes, adaptive scaffolding during assessment (Chang, 2015; Deville & Chalhoub-Deville, 1999), and simultaneous assessment of integrative skills
through multidimensional mastery skill profiling (DiBello, Stout, & Roussos, 1995; Leighton & Gierl, 2007; Yan, Almond, & Mislevy, 2004).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While research on feedback has focused chiefly on the impact of feedback formats (Ellis, Loewen, & Erlam, 2006; Ferris, 2010; Li, 2014; Murphy & Roca de Larios, 2010; Nassaji, 2016; Opitz, Ferdinand, & Mecklinger, 2011), little research
other than research on dynamic assessment (Lantolf & Poehner, 2004; Leung, 2007; Poehner, 2007) has addressed its scaffolding mechanisms in assessing productive skills in technology-rich environments. Mediation through feedback during task performance can
be distinct from end-of-task feedback as it provides simultaneous diagnosis and scaffolding (Lantolf & Poehner, 2008). It differs further by agency (Holton & Clarke, 2006). While expert scaffolding is led by the mediator, such as a teacher, to promote conceptual
learning or skill development, reciprocal scaffolding can occur collaboratively through peer-to-peer or human-machine interactions. In addition, self-scaffolding can take place through learners’ metacognitive control.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this talk, we examine the mechanisms of scaffolding based on diagnostic feedback in technology-rich learning and assessment contexts based on a community outreach program. The program was intended to provide support for students from
urban shelters and refugee and immigrant children aged 8 to 14 who had limited opportunities to learn due to school closure during the pandemic. We discuss the role of the technology-rich diagnostic feedback system on learning mediated through self-, expert,
and reciprocal scaffolding.<o:p></o:p></p>
