2. Q: What is meant by E-Assessment?

assess learners' work.
This method of assessment provides multiple benefits to learners,
teachers and administrators:
Use of text, sound and video means that questions and portfolios are
clearer and more detailed.
Results can be accessed within minutes and include helpful insights and
feedback.
Less printing, postage and storage of forms and papers is needed.
More testing opportunities at a greater range of locations means more

3. Types of e-assessment
E-testing
Computer-based assessment (CBA)
E-portfolio

4. E-testing
E-testing is like traditional testing but is carried out using
a computer rather than pen and paper.
The benefits of e-testing:
Register your learners in minutes.
Assess your learners when they are ready, any time of
the day or night.
Get results instantly after completion and analyse within
minutes.

5. Computer-based assessment:
Computer-based assessment (CBA) offers an
alternative to local assessment and external
moderation. Learners work on assignments as usual,
but their files are assessed via computer rather than a
local assessor marking print outs and sending them
to an OCR Examiner Moderator.

6. Benefits Computer-based assessment:
Completely automated marking with no local
assessment needed.
Results and feedback on performance within minutes.
Virtually paperless process and no postage required.
Completely free, so there is no extra cost to your
centre.

7. E-portfolio:
An electronic portfolio, (e-portfolio) is a storage area, where learners
upload and submit their work and tutors and assessment personnel view
and mark work. Unlike traditional paper based methods, e-portfolios
provide much richer and varied ways of recording and presenting
evidence. Learners can submit a range of file formats including word
processed documents, spreadsheets, images, video and sound files.
The content of an e-portfolio can then be shared with others. They can be
searched and viewed from different perspectives and enable learners to
access their work at any time.
All you need to run most e-portfolio systems is a PC or laptop with
internet access (preferably broadband).

8. Benefits E-portfolio:
Save time
Save money - No more lever arch files or printing
Create media rich portfolio with images, sound and video
A safe place for learners to collect, save and reflect on their
work
Portable
Accessible
Save on postage costs for remote moderated portfolios
