Performance Assessment and Reporting Integrated System (PARIS)
Staffing
P. Griffin, S. Gillis, K. Pigdon
Summary
This project is developing Web and CD-ROM based materials to be used in post graduate programs in assessment offered by the Faculty of Education (e.g. the Post Graduate Diploma in Assessment & Evaluation and the Masters of Assessment & Evaluation). The PARIS will be designed to provide students with quality skill development at a post graduate level. The intention is to develop a group of specialists who can, in turn, train others in assessment procedures and practices. Post Graduate students of assessment will have an opportunity to combine theory with practice in the field of performance assessment using workplace exercises. It will also enable them to obtain immediate feedback about the technical qualities of their work and take appropriate action based on this feedback. This will be achieved via mixture of an online teaching and learning system with classroom and field work projects that allow direct observation assessment to be combined with traditional methods to be implemented in teaching at university level.
