Developments in on-screen assessment design for examinations
conference contribution
posted on 2009-03-31, 13:28 authored by Che Osborne, John WinkleyThis paper draws on examples from projects undertaken for a range of UK
agencies, including the regulators from each of the 4 nations (QCA, ACCAC,
SQA and CCEA), and Awarding Bodies such as Edexcel and the British
Computer Society.
This work includes the use of:
• rich media (exploring how video, audio, animation and imaging affect
assessment performance, including for candidates with disabilities),
• interactivity and adaptivity (exploring how requiring students to make
interactive responses affects achievement and engagement),
• advanced computer-marking techniques (work to mark candidates’
prose, mathematical workings, and process as well as output),
• item banking complex items to allow “when ready” assessment, and
comparability issues with more traditional assessments.
• Working with authors across multiple locations and disciplines, and
how the challenges can be met.
The paper also discusses how “when-ready” e-assessment is blurring the
traditionally clear boundary between summative and formative assessment,
and the opportunities open to qualification providers to reshape their
assessment offerings to act as learning resources.
