This work extends theresearch foundation and outcomes of the ATC21S through a targeted approach to building localcapacity in designing and creating effective and efficient digital collaborative assessment tasks.Linked to the methodological and technical capacity building in each country, is buildingexperience on the implementation of such assessment tasks in classrooms by teachers, and thenecessary professional development required.  ,Practical examples of the collaborative tasks will be demonstrated to help participants gain anunderstanding of the process and outcomes being used to scale access to collaborativeassessment tasks for schools in participating countries.  ,
