Assess your staff cost effectively

In its broadest sense, e-assessment is the use of information technology for any assessment-related activity. This definition embraces a wide range of student activity ranging from the use of a word processor to on-screen testing. Due to its obvious similarity to e-learning, the term e-assessment is becoming widely used as a generic term to describe the use of computers within the assessment process.

E-assessment has many advantages over traditional (paper-based) assessment. The advantages include:

1. lower long-term costs
2. instant feedback to students
3. greater flexibility with respect to location and timing
4. improved reliability (machine marking is much more reliable than human marking)
5. greater storage efficiency - tens of thousands of answer scripts can be stored on a server compared to the physical space required for paper scripts
6. enhanced question styles which incorporate interactivity and multimedia.

At Innovation for Learning we can draw upon 20 years experience of designing and delivering highly interactive, automatically marked computer-delivered assessments to tens of thousands of students in the university sector and to many businesses in the private sector. We can provide perhaps the widest range of question types currently available with unparalleled flexibility in delivery mode and the capability to test higher level skills in some disciplines.
