‘I feel that assessment on a computer is better than writing because usually<br />

you forget what you are going to write…before you write it. The brain works<br />

faster than your handwriting.’<br />

Student, University <strong>of</strong> Derby<br />

Many older learners are also finding benefit in e-assessment<br />

due to the respite this provides from traditional written<br />

examinations, the convenience <strong>of</strong> on-demand testing and the<br />

greater likelihood that results will be based on objective and<br />

accurate marking. However, the full value from the learner’s<br />

perspective can only be obtained where access to computers<br />

is widely available and adequately supported <strong>with</strong> guidance.<br />

Learners also need rich and timely feedback on formative<br />

assessments and a personal online space for recording and<br />

evidencing attainment in an e-portfolio.<br />
