The document discusses assessment methods and tools used at a graduate business school. It describes a 12-step study process that includes delivering learning materials by post, self-regulated learning, seminars, revision, and examinations. Students complete portfolio tasks and have their ePortfolios reviewed in Mahara. Both formative and summative assessments are used, including tasks, tests, case studies, and a thesis. While most feedback is through email, the school aims to increase use of online forums to better support learning. The document concludes with an overview of a virtual hospital simulation used for healthcare education.

formative
 Face-to-face: No  eMail (mostly)
 Paper-based: No digital tools.  Phone
digital tools.
 Online-Forum in
Mahara (hardly)
 Feedback to learning
 Tasks for self-control process during face-to-face
 Tasks to send in seminar (teacher-student)  Support Service
(correction and return)  Feedback as informal (contact the teacher)

21. Summing-up
» We start to use Mahara as an ePortfolio system to give review -
due to having mostly portfolio-tasks (summative assessment)
during the study process
» We offer online-forums for formative assessment – but students
hardly make use of it – they usually write eMails.
» In case of formative assessments there is potential to
implementate more (attractive) digital tools – to enhance students
learning process rather than just to test it at the end.
