The PASS-IT project evaluated the use of computer-assisted assessment (CAA) across schools and colleges in Scotland. Key findings included that CAA was found to be a feasible alternative to paper-based assessment and did not disadvantage students. Benefits identified were instant feedback, increased student motivation, and potential for more flexible assessment. Barriers included technical issues, lack of infrastructure, and concerns about online assessment for high-stakes exams. Lessons learned included the need for quality assurance processes, staff training, and a phased approach combining online and paper assessments.
