A Ground Breaking Approach to the Assessment of Student e-Portfolio using the Law of Comparative Judgement Matt Wingfield Managing Director TAG Developments BLi Education Ltd
In 2004, a team at Goldsmith's College, University of London, embarked on a five year pilot project - Project eScape - to investigate the use of e-portfolios to dynamically capture live project-based student coursework. The pilot has since been extended into Scotland under a project run by Edinburgh University under the direction of Susan McLaren.
A key development through the latter stages of the project was the development of a web-based Comparative Pairs Assessment Engine, which enabled more subjective assessment criteria, such as creativity and collaboration, to be judged through the implementation of the 'Law of Comparative Judgement', as initially described by L.L. Thurstone in the 1927. Uniquely, the integration of a web-based Comparative Pairs Assessment Engine within an e-portfolio context, made this innovative and highly accurate form of assessment available globally for the very first time.
This workshop will be comprised of two sections:
The overall aim of the workshop will be to demonstrate how simple it is to implement this form of assessment in relation to student work. It will also look at the more recent research done into the accuracy of this approach when compared against traditional paper-based/hand marking, and will discuss the benefits offered to students, institutions and accreditation bodies by this form of assessment. Finally, the workshop will not only provide delegates with the chance to try the technology first hand, but also to discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with implementing this form of assessment.
