Technology can enhance, enrich and support assessment and feedback and help provide students with a variety of authentic assessment experiences which are akin to skills they will need in the workplace. From enabling formal essays and assignments to be submitted and marked online, Blackboard and other tools afford staff the opportunity to offer students a diverse range of digital options for completing both formative and summative assessment activities. Blogs, journals, wikis (online collaborative projects), e-portfolios, discussion boards and Blackboard tests are some examples.<\/p>\n
All assessment appropriate to be completed by students digitally is done so at the University of Reading, and is aligned with the processes and protocols agreed by the Electronic Management of Assessment<\/a> programme. EMA sets out the assessment cycle, roles and responsibilities at each stage, and processes and protocols to be followed to ensure an equitable and consistent student experience. The EMA page<\/a> provides more information including an interactive map, walking colleagues through the university’s electronic assessment process.<\/p>\n
