2012 Winners
The Scottish
e-Assessment Awards, launched in 2009, recognise excellence and innovation in using
e-Assessment to improve the educational experience of learners. The Awards are open
to entrants who have developed products/processes in Scotland, or are using
products/processes within a Scottish organisation.
Organised by the UK’s e-Assessment Assocation in partnership with Soffed, the Awards are offered in the following categories:
In 2012, we celebrated winners in the following categories:
- Formative e-Assessment
- Facilitating e-Assessment
- e-Portfolio
- Lifelong Achievement
The following criteria was used by the judges to guide them in the evaluation of submitted entries:
- 1. Has a positive impact on learning and teaching
- 2. Demonstrates sound design principles
- 3. Supports and promotes inclusive practice
- 4. Engages and motivates
- clear guidance, with examples, on how the assessments contribute to learning and teaching
- a range of actions, following an assessment, providing positive links to the next stage of learning
- opportunities for learners and teachers to use the outcomes of assessments to structure learning in a consistent way
- a close match between the nature of the challenge to the learner and the learning objectives covered in the content
- evidence that the objectives are attainable at each step, but cumulatively challenging enough to offer concrete learning development
- encouragement for learners to demonstrate understanding and achievement in original ways possibly not available in traditional learning materials
- evidence of a coherent overall design strategy
- prompt and sufficiently detailed feedback to learner actions during the assessment to sustain learner interest
- if designed to be adaptive, evidence of adaptability, flexible access and opportunities to support personalised learning – is feedback tailored to individual users?
- motivational screen design appropriate to the intended audience easy navigation and clear indexing
- appropriate feedback and outcomes which positively contribute to learning and teaching
The judges assessed entries against a range of features, such as:
- e-Assessment matched to a range of learning styles, together with adaptability and flexibility where appropriate
- accessibility by a wide range of users
- the potential to enhance the learning experience by customising features – e.g. alternative formats, audio options, or adjustable text size
- strong support for learner autonomy through variation of pace or differentiation of tasks
- evidence that the instrument addresses user diversity, avoiding bias and stereotyping
- use of ICT to offer new opportunities for engaging and motivating learners
- ways of recording learner achievement that promote motivation
- effective feedback mechanisms that stimulate and maintain learner interest
- sophisticated feedback, addressing learners’ misconceptions, together with proposals for appropriate remedial action
- opportunities for building confidence and self-esteem
