ICT-based assessment

What is ICT based assessment?

By ICT-based assessment we mean assessment of knowledge, understanding and skills using technologies such as the Internet, intranet and CD-ROM. This could cover a wide range of activities, from situations where candidates wordprocess short answer responses or essays and submit these to markers by e-mail, to those where candidates take computer-delivered tests online and their responses are marked through automated marking systems.
