Student perceptions of computer-based formative assessments in a semi-distance module

The evaluation of student views of computer-based assessment is usually based on questionnaires that solicit opinions about this form of assessment in isolation, and often in a context where the computer-based assessment is a novel resource. Being concerned to avoid any possible ‘novelty’ effect on students’ views on the utility of computer-based assessment as a learning resource, we designed our evaluation to concentrate on the assessment experience as a whole.
