Agenda • What do we mean by e-Assessment? • The learning journey • Current use of e-Assessment • The drive towards e-Assessment • Benefits • Interactive examples: Simulations, Feedback, Portfolios, Innovative items
This session is NOT about…. • programming e-assessment tools • complex technical matters It is about…. • The drivers behind innovative e-Assessment • Examples of where innovation is being used
Current use of e-Assessment • ‘Industrialisation’ of large volume, multiple choice style papers • Use of adaptive tools to pinpoint skills and requirements • Diagnostics to develop personal learning plans • Increased feedback to aid learner • Greater use of ‘Simulation’ based assessment
The drive towards e-Assessment Where is the drive coming from? • 14-19 White Paper and Skills White Paper • Awarding bodies (marking issues) • Skills checking and initial assessments (adult skills) • Training & Development Agency for schools and LLUK • Industry (increased assessments – skills needs) • Higher Education
Benefits • Ability to use interactive items or simulations • Ability to offer assessments on demand • Provision of feedback to aid the learner • Adaptive assessments • can enable learners to repeat questions over and over until understood • can include ‘hints’ and ‘help’ when learners are stuck • can provide ‘rich’, detailed feedback on where and why an answer was incorrect • can automatically link to e-learning support materials • Can collect all the evidence for a whole group and enable the teacher to customise her/his teaching programme
Innovative assessments • Simulations – e-Citizen Virtual Desktop • Innovative items – NFER • Rich feedback - Practice and learn • Adaptive – Cinema Numeracy tool • Portfolios – e-Activities
