Informative reports – experiences from the pass-it project

The PASS-IT Project (Project on ASsessment in Scotland using Information Technology) has organised a series of experiments to measure the effectiveness of on-line assessments in a range of subjects and levels across Scottish schools and colleges (PASS-IT, 2003). In order to analyse the data from these experiments properly it has proved invaluable to prepare electronic reports on candidate performances in the on-line assessments. This paper describes the work of PASS-IT, the role of e-reports to enlighten research findings and how such e-reports can enhance the teaching and learning process.
