Types of assessment responses
 convergent type, in which one correct answer is expected, and
divergent responses, in which the answer depends on opinion
or analysis (Torrance et al., 2001)
 convergent assessment has its origins in mastery-learning
models and involves assessment of the student by the master-
teacher
 divergent assessment is often associated with a constructivist
view of learning, where the teacher and student engage
collaboratively within Vygotsky’s (1986) zone of proximal
development

Academics/Teachers need to decide:
 whether the process of solving a problem and the
product of solving a problem are both assessed, and
what is the relative weighting for the two components
 whether constructed or selected responses are
appropriate

Interactivity - Java and Java applets
a simple platform-independent (Mac, PC or

(objects rather than functions) used for writing
applets (small applications) that are downloaded
from the www by a client (you or the student) and
run on the client's machine

32. Interactive e-assessment – moving beyond multiple-choice questions
The four changing faces of e-assessment 2006-2016 UK
 Rapid change in assessment in the lecture hall and the classroom
(Assessment for Learning), driven by an increase in the capability of handheld
and personal technologies
 The transformation of (some) examinations and training through the use of
technology to create virtual worlds assessing students’ higher order thinking
 The migration of traditional paper-based tests to computer-delivered
tests. Initially multiple-choice in format, over the next decade computer-based
assessment incrementally will adopt more sophisticated approaches such as
coursework requiring extensive use of technology to conduct research,
evaluate and present findings.
 Uptake of e-portfolios to accommodate 21st century learning and training
patterns, as well as to strengthen university and college transfer

Future assessments?
 What will assessment tasks look like in the future?
 Will we see universal development of immersive and authentic
learning and assessment environments?
 Will assessments measure approaches to problem solving and
student responses in terms of efficiency, ethical considerations
and the involvement of others?
 Will teachers be able to construct future assessments or will this
be a specialty activity?
