| CourseworkerXML and online assessment |
|
Computer aided assessment is emerging as a valuable online education tool. The challenge is to design, author and produce effective assessments that can interest students and assess them at multiple levels within Bloom’s educational taxonomy. CourseworkerXML enables the production of any question type for any online learning environment, and its conversion into suitable interchange format. This usually requires an initial setup and test exercise for the specific environment to be used, but once this is achieved the ability to produce large volumes of content rich assessment materials in XML is established. The examples below illustrate how this was achieved for the ifs School of Finance, British Council and Heriot-Watt University.
