Innovation in eAssessment 1 onscreen marking 2 turning complexity into workable solutions - onscreen testing - e-portfolios
Onscreen marking What is it? - secure / web-based - scanned images of candidates responses - item (question) based marking - home-based, using a standard PC - allows different categories of markers ( general / expert )
Onscreen marking Exams are taken on paper in the usual way .
Onscreen marking Each script makes one journey. Each script page is accurately scanned.
Onscreen marking Example system. ePen The welcome screen
Onscreen marking Typical student item being marked
Onscreen marking Scripts marked onscreen (one system - ePen) Nov.2003 17,000 (6 papers) Jan.2004 45,000 (16 papers) Jun.2004 1,000,000 (46 papers) Jun.2005 2,900,000 (195 papers) Jun.2006 3,100,000 (227 papers)
Onscreen marking Advantages for Examiners • Zero administration • Accuracy and control • Visibility • No mark reporting • No centre chasing • No totalling of marks
Onscreen marking The SURVEY says……………… What examiners say about marking onscreen (ePen) ‘I have marked onscreen’57% ‘I am confident about using ePen’ 93% ‘Marking with ePen is easy’ 80% ‘I intend to mark onscreen again’ 90% Source: Independent confidential survey commissioned by Edexcel. Responses from 10,000 markers in summer 2005
Onscreen testing 600 static centres. Innovation includes: Mobile test centre
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
