Electronic delivery and authentic assessment of IT Skills across the Internet
نویسنده
چکیده
Traditional assessment of IT skills uses sets of human markers to mark candidate scripts by hand. This results in inaccurate results and slow turnaround for candidates. The results are also inconsistent when marked by a group of examiners rather than a single marker. Automation of the assessment can improve the accuracy and consistency of the results and automation of the management of the process improves the quality of the assessment. This paper describes the development and piloting of an assessment system and the associated automated assessors for a range of IT skills for a major UK Examinations Board which examines several hundred thousand candidates a year in IT skills.
