Computer Aided Assessment (CAA)

The next step is to provide a way for students to assess their own progress and understanding of the material. Without human feedback or very sophisticated artificial intelligence, this usually means some form of objective test delivered as an online quiz. Because it is objective and the possible responses are known, the feedback can also be automated. Students can therefore receive immediate feedback. This use of CAA for self-diagnosis / formative assessment can be quick to set up and if used wisely can provide valuable feedback on the effectiveness of the course to the course tutor.
