Onscreen testing High Stakes: GCSE Onscreen Testing Innovative items used Not just multiple choice Multimedia (Audio) GCSE Applied French - mock in Jan.2006 – 50 centres (1500 learners) - first live exam in June 2006 (50 centres)
ePortfolio Assessment by ePortfolio - developing systems to moderate and, where appropriate, collect Learners work from ePortfolios - involves working with 3rd party suppliers and standards bodies to ensure access to information is possible across various ePortfolio systems
ePortfolio An example of assessment by ePortfolio: Diploma in Digital Applications - Project brief delivered to the Centre via the internet - Candidates compile multi-media portfolio onscreen - ePortfolios are marked by the centre - ePortfolios then accessed by moderators via internet - moderator’s report sent to awarding body via internet - Certificate issued (on paper and through the post) ( ? One step away from assessment on demand ? )
ePortfolio – Where next ? Design and Technology in the future ? PDAs Digital capture pens
ePortfolio – Where next ? PDA photo captured images that may be annotated and printed. Digital capture pens store student answers electronically. Peers critique on the same paper
