Assessment Controversy

Many significant aspects of work which children produce using Educational Technology are difficult to assess using traditional methods. An investigation into current assessment methods has shown that lecturers are 'cutting & pasting' most of their comments on students work.

Parent
But the work that my kids do on their computers at home doesn't count.

Student
Who says cutting and pasting is plagiarism?

Teacher
ILS can make a difference.

Teacher
Collaborative work on computers is easier, but how on earth do we assess it.

Teacher
IT really makes a difference to the achievements of my SEN kids.

Teacher
My difficulty when carrying out an assessment is evaluating the different facets of a multi-media presentation.
