Developing a methodology for online feedback and assessment

It is widely accepted that when seeking to implement CAA we should not begin with the technology but with the pedagogy. If CAA is to be used appropriately it must be regarded as a range of assessment strategies, including objective tests, formative self-assessment and so on. This paper describes an action research project to develop a methodology for the implementation of online feedback and assessment. The methodology incorporates pedagogic, operational and strategic issues and is emerging as part of the continued development of CAA at Sheffield Hallam University.
