Practical guide to e-assessment

Efutures is a four country resource designed to support innovation when using e-assessment in qualifications.

The site explains the policies and Regulatory Principles related to e-assessment and provides case studies and resources to help see the principles in context. Efutures has been designed to encourage dialogue between the regulators Ofqual in England and Northern Ireland, SQA in Scotland, DCELLS, in Wales, CCEA in Northern Ireland and stakeholders on the key themes and topics relating to e-assessment, systems and security, accessibility, e-testing, e-portfolios and help and support. Your feedback helps us to develop and improve future policies and thinking on e-assessment.
We hope you find e-assessment.org.uk to be a useful resource.

Automatically generated on-demand tests

Item banks used by Awarding Bodies for on demand testing need to contain sufficient volume of questions to ensure comparability and reliability held in a secure environment. Each item bank must be comparable in the time it takes to complete, and must be designed to ensure equal choice for disabled learners.

Ofqual publishes reports into On-demand testing

Ofqual has published two reports into the use of on-demand testing in examinations and assessments. On-demand testing can be defined as testing a learner when they are ready rather than at a fixed time, such as happens with driving tests and music examinations. The first report, titled 'Regulatory Research into On-demand Testing', gathers together findings from existing studies and new research conducted at recent focus groups held by Ofqual to discuss the topic. The wider issue of e-assessment is also referred to within the report, as it is often closely associated with on-demand testing.
