| Extra Sensory Perception -- Extending the Power of QM Perception (2008) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| Initial experience of using Question Mark Perception for Web-based assessment was presented at the 2 Annual CAA Conference (McCabe, 1998). At that time Perception had been released as a commercial product for barely a month and had been used for formative assessment only. Confidence gained during the 1997/8 academic year has led to the extension of its use for summative assessment during 1998/9. Formal exams within the Faculty of Technology have been successfully conducted in mathematics, astronomy and computer science using Perception, in addition to the routine use of Question Mark Designer. Besides the obvious benefits of greater accessibility to Perception tests, it has been possible to develop variants of existing question types, e.g. multi-numeric, and to exploit the more open system with custom questions. Perception Version 2, scheduled for release in July 1999, includes many new features and improvements. | |||||||||||||
