A one-day seminar on e-Assessment in Mathematics for Primary, Secondary & Tertiary Educators

When: Monday 13th July 2009 from 9am – 3pm

Where: Department of Mathematics, Swansea University, Swansea, South Wales.

EVENT IN CONTEXT

This seminar was organised by the e-Assessment Association in conjunction with the Department of Mathematics at Swansea University in order to highlight the benefits of e-Assessment in Mathematics at all levels of education. The seminar was sponsored by BTL and SCHOLAR. The invited speakers explored issues in the development and use of: an adaptive approach, the inclusion of multi-media, the role of a stepped approach and the testing of higher-order skills. This event forms part of a series of seminars being held across the UK under the auspices of the e-Assessment Association. The seminar discussed the main features in the relevant sector led by a well-known exponent in the field and gather informed views through discussion under the guidance of experienced facilitators.

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.
