Raising the profile of diagnostic, formative and summative e-assessments.
Providing e-assessment design principles and disciplinary examples for higher education academic staff.
The intended outcomes from this Fellowship are:
- Promotion and understanding of a variety of approaches to e-assessment designs, based on the use of diagnostic, formative and summative assessments.
- Development of a community of practice in e-assessment through the use of webinars and workshops
- Facilitation of changes in approaches to assessment, including the increased use of:
- helper applications and simulations
- role-plays and scenario-based learning coupled to e-assessment
- authentic assessments that use digital tools that are relevant to the professional lives of graduates
- improved use of multistructural and relational diagnostic and formative assessment items with appropriate feedback
- Increased awareness of the possibilities for diagnostic and formative assessment and feedback through the use of personal response systems (PRS) and wireless technologies for alternative forms of e-assessment in the classroom.
- Raising awareness of the use of online peer review systems that allow students to develop capabilities in assessing their own written work.
