The document discusses the history and evolution of e-assessment over the past 10 years. It notes that e-assessment began being widely used in the late 1990s and involves online testing using computer technology, mainly multiple choice questions. The types of e-assessment include summative high-stakes tests and formative assessments. Recent benefits of e-assessment include immediate feedback, assessment validity, and flexible administration. However, benefits are not automatic and poor design may achieve no benefits. The document also describes a case study of developing an e-assessment system for logic courses that provides automated scoring and feedback.
Summary
This website considered to be a virtual learning environment and a Student-centered learning that helps students and faculty members to increase the interaction in educational process to enhance the academic educational process.
Our system mainly depends on quality assurance system using ILO's (Intent Learning Objectives) which its main objectives is to measure 4 roles ILO's :
1-Knowledge and understanding
2-Intellectual skills
3- Professional and practical skills.
4- General and transferable skills.
System Divided into: Course Management System, Quiz/Assignment/training Management system, Virtual class room, Online Lecture Streaming, Virtual Office Hours, ILO's mapping
The core benefit of projects lies in:
1- Student can know through a set of reports his weakness points through each chapter he attempts and finishes its assessments
2- Doctor's/TA's can know by each chapter what they succeeded in delivering to student's through providing reports with non-passed objectives of chapter through attempted assessments by students
3- Faculty itself can know covered Academic Program ILO's through mapping done periodically over term and what is not covered or failed to deliver to improve/fix by next semesters
4- Faculty can Know goodness/weakness points of stuff

Broadening the scope of a Maths module for student Technology teachersUofGlasgowLTU
In this paper we will discuss the use of Moodle 2.4 Activities to enhance student learning in an undergraduate first year mathematics module. We begin by setting out the reasons for redesigning an existing course by using Moodle 2.4, and our reasons for selecting the activities that we added to the course. We present examples of student engagement with the course and end with time for questions from the audience.
Over the last three sessions, we have redeveloped a Maths module for student Technology teachers to provide an experience that is more relevant to their intended career. The most recent version of this was written this year by using Moodle 2.4, forums, wikis, the “External Tool” facility and Mahara.
Previously, the module was essentially a revision and levelling-up course, which was intended to ensure that students’ mathematical capability was sufficient to cope with the rest of their course. Students were required to complete ten tests covering topics from numeracy to differentiation and complex numbers, and attendance was mandatory only until they had done so. This led to a “race to finish” attitude, which had the more able students leaving the class early in the second semester and the less able battling on with completing the tests as their only goal. Understandably, engagement was minimal, the module was regarded as a chore and its relevance to the remainder of their course was poorly understood.
Realising that the students need to learn to take the teacher’s viewpoint, we introduced a “topics wiki” in which groups of students collaborate to provide additional explanations and resources around the course content. The efforts so far are very worthwhile and will be of use to those with less experience of Maths and to future students. Students are encouraged to discuss the resources during class time, and beyond. Some of the more able students are helping their classmates already, and we are actively encouraging this. We are also encouraging students to use these group wikis to build personal e-portfolios using Mahara, and this will be reinforced next semester when students participate in group projects.
Students are more engaged this year than in previous years, and we believe that this is because we have made better use of the functionality of Moodle, and are scaffolding student learning as they progress through the course.
Infusing Technology into a School of NursingExamSoft
Writing a good test engages both sides of your brain: indeed, test item writing is both an art and a skill. The good news is that practice can help you enhance your talents in both of these areas. Preparing multiple-choice and alternative-formatted questions, when done well, challenges you to use your knowledge of sound clinical practice gained over years of experience. But instead of just using this knowledge to determine if a student can recognize some basic facts, when you combine your talents and skills in creating a test that measures critical thinking ability, students’ answers to your well-written test questions can reveal not just whether or not they know the basic facts, but if they can apply them in a real-life situation that requires a high level of decision-making or problem-solving. Because most health science instructors were first clinicians and became academic faculty members much later as they moved along their career paths, the task of constructing critical-thinking test items and reliable and valid tests can seem overwhelming. Join this discussion about honing those item writing skills, and discover your talents using both sides of your brain to create a great test!

Online Intelligent Semantic Performance Based Solution: The Milestone towards...AM Publications
As we analyse the computer application undergraduate logical-based courses in an assorted
environment of online assignments and exams and offline lectures, and exhibit the impact on academic routine of
factors such as classroom attendance, web-based course complement, and homework. We present grades from both
ordinary front ends and where the latter method controls for unobserved variation among students. A system
tailored intelligent instructional evaluation will generate the students, teachers & administration concepts,
discussing the predisposition in estimation when the ordinary evaluation method is used, resulting from the fact
that it ignores unobserved assorted. It also reduces the administrator’s load and helps provide the flexibility to
teacher’s need for mass evaluation. The Online Intelligent Semantic Performance based Solution is web
applications that ascertain an association between the institutes and the students. Institutes enter on the site, the
concepts they want in the exam. The questions based on the relevant concept and the syllabus is displayed as a test
to the eligible students. The answers entered by the students are then evaluated and their score is calculated and
saved. This score then can be accessed by the institutes to determine the passes students or to evaluate their
performance. It has been successfully applied to the distance evaluation of basic operating skills of computer
science, such as the course of computer skills in Universities and the local examination for the under graduates in
faridabad, Haryana.
Assessing Students and Tutors with Learning Analytics DashboardsEADTU
Vassilios Verykios from Hellenic Open University gave a presentation about Assessing Students and Tutors with Learning Analytics Dashboards as part of the online events by expert pool Assessment within EMPOWER.
Software Engineering I is a mandatory subject for
undergraduate students that is taught in the second semester of
the 2nd year of the Degree in Computer Sciences at the
University of Salamanca (Spain). This degree exists since 1989
but it has transformed over time according to the education law
changes in Spain and Europe. Software Engineering I is the first
subject related to the area of software engineering that is taught
in the degree. The novelty of the concepts and the need to develop
abstract thinking to acquire the different competences of the
subject, implies a handicap to teach the subject. The final grades
obtained by the students in the subject are fairly low compared
with other subjects in the degree. Moreover, the attendance to the
face-to-face classes is continuously reduced throughout the
semester, which affects to the continuous assessment. Some
initiatives have been applied during previous school years but a
global change of the subject is necessary. In order to increase the
success rate of the subject and to achieve that students are
involved in the learning process, authors have implemented an
active learning methodology based on team working.
Furthermore, two instruments have defined to measure the
impact of the changes and evaluate the pilot.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

10 Years of E-assessment & Math
1. 10 Years of E-assessment & Math
M. Antonia Huertas
Computer Science Department
UOC
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 1
2. Introduction: E-assessment today
• The term ‘e-assessment’ began to be used widely from
the late 1990s
• Ofqual (Office of the Qualifications and Examinations
Regulator UK) defines e-assessment (2009) as:
“the use of electronic systems for the development,
operation and delivery of accredited qualification assessment
or the collection of performance evidence, which contributes
to the awarding of a unit or an accredited qualification”
http://www.ofqual.gov.uk/64.aspx
• E-assessments are tests which learners take onscreen
or online using computer technology. They are mainly
formed by multiple choice questions (MCQ)
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 2
3. Types of e-assessment in formal
education
• Summative, ‘high stakes’ assessments – examinations
where the results matter to the candidate and the
institution, and hence are both carefully regulated and
of public interest.
• Formative (or assessments for learning) – those
embedded within learning activities, are designed for
learners and teachers to monitor and plan their work.
• Technologies employed in these two settings may be
similar, approaches to risk and innovation are very
different.
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 3
4. Today use and benefits
• Benefits:
– Immediate feedback
– Assessment validity
– Space and time flexibility
– More efficient administration
• Not all benefits apply to all e-assessment use
• Poorly designed or implemented e-
assessment may achieve no benefits at all
• Benefits are not ‘automatic’
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 4
5. E-Learning technologies today
• Education is influenced by a lot of emerging
technologies
• http://c4lpt.co.uk/top-100-tools-2012/
• http://www.edtechmagazine.com/k12/article/
2012/11/6-hot-trends-educational-
technology-infographic
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 5
6. Features in e- assessment formats
• Question types: Short answers, Essay, Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ),
Multiple Response Questions (MRQ, Fill in the Blanks (FIB), Matchin,
Crossword puzzles.
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 6
7. Beyond multiple-choice questions
Automated scoring & feedback
• Automated scoring
– Mathematics marking
Moodle + Wiris use in UOC experimental “Introduction of Maths for
Engineering”
– Programming languages & formal notations
– Short free text answer
• Automated feedback
– Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs)
– Example for mathematics:
‘Carnegie Learning’s Cognitive Tutor’ at secondary and HE in USA
‘eFit’ for mathematics at lower secondary schools in Germany
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 7
8. Beyond multiple-choice questions
Adaptive assessment
• The system chooses which questions to ask next, based
on the candidate’s responses to previous questions.
(+) Better measure of student’s capabilities in a given time
(- ) Difficulty to ensure that the adaptivity functions correctly
• Technical methods of implementation commonly used
include dynamic item selection from a pool of items
based on statistical methods
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 8
9. Beyond multiple-choice questions
Simulations and serious gaming
• Used when students interaction with the real thing
is impractical (danger, too time consuming, too
expensive)
• Simulation technology is quite varied.
– Generic simulation engines (such as Expert Systems),
tailored for educational purpose
– But also computationally relatively simple software,
relying rather on rich and varied media
• Serious gaming refers to games with an educational
purpose. Rigorous assessment is a key area of
development in serious gaming
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 9
10. E-assessement generations
• We are in the Computer-based Testing Era:
– To improve the efficiency of testing procedures.
– E-assessment is centred on testing
• Generation 1 (1994-2002):
– Computerised conventional testing
– Automated scoring
• Generation 2 (2002-2012):
– Computerised adaptive testing
– MCQ & Moodle kind of systems
– Automated feedbak
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 10
11. Current and future e-Assessment strategies
Source : IPTS on the basis of Bennett, 2010; Bunderson, et al., 1989; Martin, 2008).
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 11
12. E-assessement generations
(the future)
• We are going to the Embedded Assessment Era
– Embedding assessment within the learning process
– Based on ‘Learning Analytics’ (Data analysis + beheavoural
tracking)
– Intelligent tutoring systems
– Automated feedback
• Generation 3:
– Continuous measurement to monitoring student’s achievement
trajectory
• Generation 4:
– Personalised feedback and tutoring
– Intelligent monitoring by means of knowledge engeeniering
• Requires technological advances
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 12
13. A Generation 2-3 case study
• Logic is an introductory course offered under the
Computer Science Degree programme at UOC.
• Looking for an e-assessment system to implement
formative e-assessment
• Design and implementation of an e-assessment
system for both knowledge and skill
• Design and implementation of a methodology for a
pilot in a real course in UOC
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 13
17. Results
• Formative continuous assessment is more correlated with
summative final assessment in the pilot group than in the
control group
• Helping to implement formative e-assessment, when skill
and knowledge acquisition have to be assessed
• From the statistical study it is not possible to state that the
student skills were improved (the ones evaluated in the
final examination), but they are not worsened although in
the pilot group students had a higher workload
• Teachers have the realistic chance to switch the previous
assessment model for a complete formative assessment
• Needing improvements: technologically and
methodologically.
04/04/13 e-math 2013, UNED, Madrid 17
