Introduction to the session
Who I am, what this session is about Intended outcomes:
By the end of this session you will: Understand some of the possibilities of e-
assessment Understand some of the issues and difficulties
associated with e-assessment Have been introduced to some possible
solutions

Terminology: what is e-assessment?
Use of technology to mark students’ test papers
Use of technology to assess ongoing work Assessment of students’ ICT capability
We will be concentrating on the third of these.

Group work on issues: snowball exercise
The aim of this exercise is to end up with no more than two sets of agreed views on the 6 most desired characteristics of ICT assessment. Write down at least 6 ideal characteristics of
an e-assessment system In pairs, agree on 6 ideal characteristics of
ICT assessment As above, in 4s As above in 9s

Snowball exercise: feedback to whole group
Feedback Discussion Issues arising

Possible characteristics
The assessment method must: assess what it purports to assess (validity), eg
not merely assess memory or reading/writing ability
Be accurate (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts)
assess what you want it to assess assess consistently (reliability) make use of available technology be accessible

Possible characteristics
The assessment method must: be useful for diagnosis be available on demand be consistent with teaching method provide information that is useful to student provide information that is useful to teacher provide information that is useful to parents provide information that is useful to
employers

Possible characteristics
The assessment method must: be interesting be exciting be challenging be relevant be usable by non-ICT specialists be usable in other subjects be robust, ie immune to cheating be updateable in a cost-effective way

Video
http://www.teachers.tv/video/5431 What issues did you manage to identify
earlier? What sorts of approaches might you use
in your school?

More terminology…
Terminology ICT capability Summative vs formative assessment High stakes assessment vs low-stakes
assessment
![Page 11: Ort workshop on e-assessing ICT By Terry Freedman](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f315503460f94c4c6b9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
… Plus a few issues
Issues Competing, and conflicting, demands
regarding the purpose of assessment, eg by different stakeholders
Administrative considerations, eg length of test session(s)
Digital divide issues
![Page 12: Ort workshop on e-assessing ICT By Terry Freedman](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f315503460f94c4c6b9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
… Plus a few more issues
Issues Usual assessment-related issues of reliability
and validity Assessing higher-order skills Product vs process Snapshot vs movie

Possible solutions
How might we address these issues and achieve the characteristics we’ve identified as desirable?
How can you make use of some of the ideas shown in the video, without needing the high-tech investment shown?

Diagnostic assessment
How can you find out what the individual student knows?
How can you find out what proportion of the class has understood? Student response
systems

Summative assessment
Think about… Project work Moderation Use of rubrics Concept of key characteristics Use of an e-portfolio
![Page 16: Ort workshop on e-assessing ICT By Terry Freedman](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56649f315503460f94c4c6b9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Formative assessment (Assessment for Learning)
Think about… Process Feedback Use of technology, eg mobile phone camera Self-assessment Peer assessment Automated marking Use of Web 2.0: blogs, wikis, forums

What next?
Prioritise at least 3 things that you will do next. For example, review your current methods of assessing ICT.
Think of some “quick wins”, ie things that you can put into place more or less immediately and which will make a huge impact.
