If the relationship between teaching and learning were causal, i. e. if students always mastered the intended learning outcomes of a particular sequence of instruction, assessment would be superfluous. Experience and research suggest this is not the case: what is learnt can often be quite different from what is taught. Formative assessment is motivated by a concern with the elicitation of relevant information about student understanding and / or achievement, its interpretation and an exploration of how it can lead to actions that result in better learning. In the context of a policy drive towards technology-enhanced approaches to teaching and learning, the question of the role of digital technologies is key and it is the latter on which this project particularly focuses. The project and its deliverables have been informed by recent and relevant literature, in particular recent work by Black andIn this work, they put forward a framework which suggests that assessment for learning their term for formative assessment can be conceptualised as consisting of a number of aspects and five keystrategies. The key aspects revolve around the where the learner is going, where the learner is right now and how she can get there and examines the role played by the teacher, peers and the learner.

Using a design pattern methodology, the project developed a range of cases of formative e-assessment with practitioners across a variety of settings through a series of participant workshops. From a selection of these cases, we identified key elements in how practitioners described the problems and solutions they addressed regarding assessment in relation to learning within their different contexts. The patterns were analysed to highlight aspects of them, which are considered critical in theoretical analyses of formative assessment. We provide an overview of the project and discuss an illustrative case and pattern, followed by an analysis which suggests the particular contribution of technologies to formative assessment. Ultimately, for assessment to have formative effects, tutors and students can be identified as appropriating both social and technological resources in learning situations and engaging with both to learn how to take control over learning experiences.}, added-at = {2011-02-04T12:12:48.000+0100}, author = {Daly, Caroline and Pachler, Norbert and Mor, Yishay and Mellar, Harvey}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2d956ef57250671efb80c191102c09e04/yish}, interhash = {28e8386842a6ffa70f68230e006f7c9f}, intrahash = {d956ef57250671efb80c191102c09e04}, journal = {Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education}, keywords = {assessment design designpatterns e-assessment education feasst formative haifa-edtech learning my myown patterns ppw technology}, number = 5, pages = {619 - 636}, title = {Exploring formative e-assessment: Using case stories and design patterns}, url = {http://www.informaworld.com/openurl?genre=article&issn=0260%2d2938&volume=35&issue=5&spage=619}, volume = 35, year = 2010 } @article{journals/ce/HinostrozaM01, added-at = {2010-02-15T00:00:00.000+0100}, author = {Hinostroza, J.
