ICT In Assessment.pdf

ICT and Assessment focuses on using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as an assessment tool.
- Assessment is the process of collecting information about a learner's knowledge, attitude, and skills to make educational decisions, provide feedback, and evaluate instruction.
- Formative Assessment is ongoing, used for improvement, and provides feedback for modifying behavior. It occurs during the learning process.
- Summative Assessment is final, used for certification, and occurs at the end of a term or course.
- ICT in Assessment includes:
- Computer-Assisted Assessment (CAA): Uses computers to manage or support assessment, often for scoring multiple-choice or short-answer questions.
- Computer-Based Assessment (CBA): Uses digital tools for assessment, such as online quizzes or embedded assessments within e-learning modules.
- Web-Based Assessment uses digital technologies for planning, delivery, automatic marking, and data management. It can be used for both formative and summative assessments.
- The unit differentiates between formative and summative assessments, and Computer-Assisted and Computer-Based Assessments.
