We are beginning to see use of products such as Question Mark being piloted
for automated testing of students' progress.
At some stage, I anticipate this will be used for more formal assessment.
What are the implications now that individuals will have rights to object to
decisions based "solely" on automatic methods? Will our exam boards be
sufficient to cover us by stating that there is human intervention in the
decision making process?
