Jisc/QCA definition of eAssessment
e-Assessment is the end-to-end electronic assessment processes
where ICT is used for the presentation of assessment activity, and
the recording of responses. This includes the end-to-end
assessment process from the perspective of learners, tutors,
learning establishments, awarding bodies and regulators, and the
general public.

Reasons for considering the use of e-submission and e-marking include:
Flexibility and convenience
Saving paper and reducing printing costs
Tracking submissions and progress (for staff and students)
Use of text-matching software (Turnitin), to help identify plagiarism
Process Management: One central, secure and familiar system (Blackboard)
Easy archiving
Provision of clear, timely and easily accessible feedback
Opportunities for innovative and engaging feedback
Greater consistency e.g. comment banks or rubrics
No large quantities of paper
Access marking from anywhere
Markers can re-edit their feedback in a document as they go through it
Why Online?
JISC has worked with
several institutions on
Electronic Assessment
Management (EAM) and
evaluated these projects.
They have summarised
some of the benefits for
students and benefits for
staff.
