‘Using  ICT   to  measure  skills,  understanding  and  knowledge

Annual Conference and Exhibition

2011 9th Year

About the Conference and Exhibition

e-Assessment, the use of computer based assessment via e-portfolios and e-testing is  increasingly becoming  part of the mainstream in the classroom and the workplace.

This year we took Assessment for Learning as our focus and look at how the technology, tools and techniques of e-Assessment and Computer Based Testing can support the Formative and Summative Assessment processes and help develop the Assessment for Learning concepts.

Learners achieve most when

    · they understand clearly what they are trying to learn, and what is expected of them

    · they are given feedback about the quality of their work and what they can do to make it better

    · they are given advice about how to go about making improvements

    · they are fully involved in deciding what needs to be done next, and who can give them help if they need it

Technology is ideally suited to supporting these ambitions  and making assessment and the personal learning agenda viable. The newer mobile  technologies even  more so.

However, technology offers both benefits and challenges for those using, or considering using, ICT to address these ideas. e-Assessment offers exciting and innovative approaches to otherwise costly, and/or inflexible assessment of learners, students or employees.

The challenge for those developing, selecting and implementing e-Assessment solutions is to balance the desire for innovation and development with the need to deliver the benefits
