![]() | Open University to contribute OpenMark Assessment to Moodle |
|
As part of its nearly-£5m investment in Moodle, the UK's Open University is
currently adding its in-house computer-assisted assessment software OpenMark to
Moodles assessment capabilities.
OpenMarks strengths include the ability to display complicated mathematical and symbolic expressions and to provide graduated targeted feedback in response to multiple attempts at variations of the same question. Given the OUs high production standards and long term funding, this development can only bode well for the future of online assessment, in particular, the assessment of mathematics-based subjects.
