Over the academic year 2014/15 LTI have led several projects in order to try and improve assessment practices with technology at LSE.
The following are the outcomes of the work carried out as part of the assessment and feedback with technology project:
Research
 |
Read e-Assessment Practice at Russell Group Universities report
A survey distributed to Russell Group universities to identify level of engagement with e-Assessment practice and factors conductive and critical to e-Assessment engagement. |
 |
Read Assessment and Feedback with Technology at LSE report – please request a copy of the report. Interviews with LSE Departments were carried out to identify the level of engagement with e-Assessment practice and understand the factors that encourage participation as well as barriers involved in this regard. |
Pilots
A series of pilots with various departments to explore pedagogical benefits of assessment and feedback with technology

Read Moodle-TII integration pilots report
DECISIONS MADE for Moodle-TII integration: Where the Moodle-TII integration worked, the feedback was largely positive. In the instances where the integration did not fully work, the issues identified were significant and cannot be ignored. In most cases, workarounds provided solutions; however as a result of the relative uncertainty associated with the functionality of the plug-in, LTI will not scale Moodle-TII integration but continue supporting the integration in the form of pilots. As such, the plug-in will be made available upon request to those who want to use it (i.e. teachers will have an opportunity of requesting the plug-in from LTI for any given Moddle course(s)). If you want to take part in Phase 2 of Moodle-TII integration (i.e. use the plug-in for your Moodle course(s)) please email us on lti.support@lse.ac.uk |
