Reviews / Votes
'The strength of this book lies in its useful account of standard approaches (e.g., to question design and evaluation) and its record of sensible considerations (e.g., alternative marking schemes). Rather than delve deeply into arguments for and against, or the pitfalls and potentials of any specific technology, the authors provide a broad perspective based upon personal acquaintance with the relevant literature. There will be few readers who fail to find useful contrasts and insightful suggestions within the text.' - George Weir, LTSN-ICS website'[Bull and McKenna] have provided a most useful introduction to the main practical issues currently associated with computer-assisted assessment ... One of the book's greatest strengths is that it is eminently readable, with clear chapter divisions and helpful cross-referencing.' - Assessment in Education

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
