Twelve Pipers Piping
Day 12. Monitor and improve. One of the advantages of eAssessment (whatever you mean by that term) is the ability to monitor actual student behaviour. This is not the same as what students say they do, neither is it the same … Continue reading

Eleven Drummers Drumming
Day 11. A broader definition of eAssessment. I can clearly remember the day, around 5 years ago, when I felt rather small at a conference because I was talking about my work with short-answer free text questions, and realised that … Continue reading

Ten Lords a-Leaping
Day 10. Check, check and check again. So you’ve chosen your question type, written your question and feedback and constructed your answer-matching. You may even have put your questions together into a quiz or interactive computer-marked assignment (iCMA) of some … Continue reading

Eight maids a-Milking – part 2

Day 8a. Free text marking of short answer questions. I’ve already talked about the automatic marking of short answers quite a lot on this blog so today, the first day of 2013, I’d like to do two slightly different things … Continue reading

Six Geese a-Laying
Day 6. Making multiple-choice better. Although I don’t, in general, much like multiple-choice questions, I have to admit that they can sometimes work very well. In conventional face-to-face settings, the use of electronic voting systems (‘clickers’) can bring lectures alive … Continue reading
Five Gold Rings
Day 5. Go beyond multiple choice. I’ve been reading a lot recently about the pros and cons of multiple choice (selected response) and constructed response questions. If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’ll realise that I am not … Continue reading
Four Colly Birds
