Digital Forms of Assessment – What No Paper?

In many ways assessment drives the curriculum and often pedagogy at all levels of education.

In a world where it is more important what you can do with what you know rather than just what you know it is critical that practical performance is assessed in reliable and valid ways that are also cost-effective. Increasingly the use of digital technologies to support the assessment of performance is seen as a key aspect to achieving this aim.

This presentation will report on the use of an online portfolio system and database linked marking tool to support a number of ways of using digital technologies to represent student work for assessment.

Intended Audience: All educators

Making a difference using ICT?

What does a teacher need to make a difference using ICT?  Is it more workstations, skills, confidence, experience or good pedagogy? 

As schools increase their use of ICT in teaching and learning critical analysis is increasingly needed of how the technologies are applied to the curriculum.  This presentation explores the implications of research findings on factors that affect the effective use of ICT to support learning in schools.

Intended Audience: All educators
