Online assessment at CSU

Snapshots in time

Abstract

This poster proposal uses snapshots in time to follow the progress of online assessment at Charles Sturt University. Snapshots into the scholarly use of learner oriented online assessment are described from the findings of a University wide research study. The author reflects on snapshots in time that have led to a personal understanding of the complex integrated network of responsibility in online assessment that involves academics, ICT support services, educational designers and other divisions. This understanding has led to the formation of new frameworks for managing online assessment and, more broadly, online learning. These frameworks are contributing to ongoing development in tools, processes, procedures and policy as the University absorbs the impact of increased access to online learning as the result of the introduction of a new, open source, learning management system.
