The embryonic e-Assessment Association has three major goals for its community: to provide professional support for workers in this field of expertise, to work collaboratively with members and national organisations to create and communicate the positive contribution that technologies can make to assessment methods and produce a statement of good practice for commercial vendors of e-assessment. This present event will conclude by establishing a special interest group for eAA in Wales.
OBJECTIVES
presentation of an adaptive approach to Primary/Secondary Mathematics with the emphasis on feedback to pupils and teachers alike;
description through question design for the inclusion of multi-media in constructed response e-assessment questions;
the ingredients of a successful deployment of e-assessment in first and second year undergraduate Mathematics;
discussion of how a computer algebra system can enhance e-assessment by delivering questions to test higher order skills in Honours Mathematics; and
a chance to form a special interest group of the e-Assessment Association in Wales.
There will be networking opportunities, a chance to see some demonstrations by BTL and SCHOLAR and talk to leading exponents of e-assessment in UK Mathematics.
