Kane, Michael T.; Tannenbaum, Richard J. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2016
It is one thing to produce an innovative, construct-based assessment task; it's another to produce 10 a year that are comparable in difficulty, measure the same competencies, are free of differential item functioning, and can be scaled and equated. These challenges contributed to the failure of the performance (or authentic) assessment movement of…

Jones, Derek – Journal of Learning Design, 2014
This paper considers the design of assessment for students of design according to behaviourist versus experiential pedagogical approaches, relating these to output-oriented as opposed to process-oriented assessment methods. It is part case study and part recognition of the importance of process in design education and how this might be applied in…

Jaime Pastor, Asuncion; Perez Guillot, Cristina; Candel-Mora, Miguel A. – Language Learning in Higher Education, 2012
One of the main problems relating to language courses offered at language centres is measuring the students' entry-level skills in a fast, efficient and reliable way. This problem is particularly acute in language centres with large numbers of students, especially at the beginning of the academic year, as a mechanism has to be implemented which…

Rademaker, Linnea L.; Grace, Elizabeth J.; Curda, Stephen K. – Qualitative Report, 2012
As diverse members of a college of education evaluation committee one of our charges is to support faculty as we document and improve our teaching. Our committee asked faculty to respond to three qualitative questions, documenting ways in which interdepartmental and cross-department conversations are used to promote reflective thinking about our…

Miller, Charles; Doering, Aaron; Scharber, Cassandra – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2010
In this paper we challenge designers, researchers, teachers, students, and parents to re-assess and re-envision the value of technology-mediated feedback and e-assessment by examining the innovative roles feedback and assessment played in the design of three contemporary web-based learning environments. These environments include 1) an…

Wills, Gary B.; Bailey, Christopher P.; Davis, Hugh C.; Gilbert, Lester; Howard, Yvonne; Jeyes, Steve; Millard, David E.; Price, Joseph; Sclater, Niall; Sherratt, Robert; Tulloch, Iain; Young, Rowin – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2009
This article reports on the e-Framework Reference Model for Assessment (FREMA) project that aimed at creating a reference model for the assessment domain: a guide to what resources (standards, projects, people, organisations, software, services and use cases) exist for the domain, aimed at helping strategists understand the state of e-learning…

Gierlowski, Krzysztof; Nowicki, Krzysztof – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2009
In this article we propose a novel e-learning system, dedicated strictly to knowledge assessment tasks. In its functioning it utilizes web-based technologies, but its design differs radically from currently popular e-learning solutions which rely mostly on thin-client architecture. Our research proved that such architecture, while well suited for…

Costagliola, Gennaro; Fuccella, Vittorio – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2009
To correctly evaluate learners' knowledge, it is important to administer tests composed of good quality question items. By the term "quality" we intend the potential of an item in effectively discriminating between skilled and untrained students and in obtaining tutor's desired difficulty level. This article presents a rule-based e-testing system…

Britton, Sandra; Daners, Daniel; Stewart, Michael – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2007
It is difficult to ensure that incoming students enrol in first year courses at a level that is commensurate with their ability. Not only do students come from a diverse range of backgrounds, but mathematics at university is, in general, more rigorous and conceptual than it is at high school, and success at high school does not always guarantee…

Kimmage, Dennis – 1986
Computer-assisted instruction has been integrated into an established library skills course at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh to supplement readings, classroom contact, and library assignments. Seven programs, one for each instructional unit of the course, were created in the form of self-tests that review course content, identify…
