> Assessment needs to be effective, efficient and support student learning. The use of on-line assessment, linked to effective immediate feedback offers the prospect of more efficient and effective use of staff time AND improved feedback to students on how to improve future learning. In addition, on-line assessment can inform staff about common student errors and misconceptions, thereby improving future teaching. Recent developments in on-line assessment authorware improves the flexibility of question types and the ability to assess higher level learning. New authorware is easier to use, allowing staff to focus on assessment and feedback design. This meeting will examine general issues of assessment and feedback and look in more depth at experiences of using two on-line authorware systems - QM Perception and TRIADS. Opportunities will be available for delegates to present posters on their own work and try out examples of both authorware systems. Staff experienced in the use of both systems will be available throughout the day to discuss your individual issues about implementing on-line assessment and feedback. The meeting is sponsored by the LTSN Centre for Bioscience and the LTSN Centre for Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences.
