"An absence of creativity characterizes the testing industry. At one end of the spectrum are multiple-choice tests that rip facts out of context and penalize students for not knowing things they can instantly Google."
Beyond the Bubble is an interesting looking site I stumbled upon that focuses on assessing historical analysis. It is put together by the history education folks at Stanford and has some high quality DBQ style activities that focus on different aspects of historical analysis. The number of assessments is somewhat limited at this point but each one is accompanied by resources including rubrics, examples of student responses, and supplementary videos.
