E-Assessment Centre Launch @ ETC

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Learning Innovation are delighted to announce that the new e-Assessment Centre has been officially launched and is ready for use as a service to support Learning and Teaching. The centre was opened by our Senior Management Team on Tuesday 3rd November.

“The majority of the group clearly enjoyed undertaking their assessments using the material as it provided instant feedback. The e-Assessment material has been fully validated by SQA for use and at present can be used to undertake the multiple choice assessments. Now that we have a dedicated assessment centre it will be easier to arrange time/dates to allow students to undertake the assessments”

Jamie Culpan (Carpentry & Joinery)

“E-assessment can support personalisation. On demand assessments benefit learners for whom traditional assessment presents difficulties due to distance, disability, illness or work commitments. On-demand summative assessments can increase participation in learning by enabling learners to progress at a pace and in a way appropriate to them”

Julie McCran (Assistant Principal - Learning & Teaching)
