- item (question) based marking
- home-based, using a standard PC
- allows different categories of markers ( general / expert )

ePortfolio
Assessment by ePortfolio
- developing systems to moderate and, where appropriate, collect Learners work from ePortfolios
- involves working with 3rd party suppliers and standards bodies to ensure access to information is possible across various ePortfolio systems
ePortfolio
An example of assessment by ePortfolio:
Diploma in Digital Applications
- Project brief delivered to the Centre via the internet - Candidates compile multi-media portfolio onscreen- ePortfolios are marked by the centre- ePortfolios then accessed by moderators via internet - moderator’s report sent to awarding body via internet- Certificate issued (on paper and through the post)
( ? One step away from assessment on demand ? )
ePortfolio – Where next ?
Design andTechnology in the future ?
PDAs Digital capture pens
ePortfolio – Where next ?
PDA photo captured images that may be annotated and printed.
Digital capture pens store student answers electronically.
