Colleagues from the Queensland University of Technology and The University ofAdelaide who have previously expressed interest in participating in trials have beencontacted and encouraged to trial CAFAS in 2010.During the final stages of the project the project leader initiated correspondence withthe lead institution’s Teaching Technology Advisory Group (TTAG) with a view todeveloping the system further and increasing the usage of CAFAS within the leadinstitution. A presentation to the TTAG is scheduled for early in 2010. The objective ofthis is to raise awareness of the benefits of computer assisted assessment amongstthe TTAG members and to garner support from senior managers, ultimately leading toa much wider uptake of the system throughout the institution and establishing strongleadership and commitment from key staff within the institution.An opportunity to develop the project with international colleagues has recently arisenthrough a contact made by team member Dr Denise Wood.
