e-Portfolios for the 21 st. Century: Edinburgh: April 2008 EASIMAP: Assisting the Transfer of Assessment Feedback to Student e-Portfolios

e-Portfolios for the 21 st. Century: Edinburgh: April 2008 This session seeks to: Describe the aims of the EASIMAP Project Demonstrate the Assessment features within the EASIMAP Tool Discuss potential application

e-Portfolios for the 21 st. Century: Edinburgh: April 2008 The aims of the EASIMAP Project are to: Develop an electronic online tool to link the assessment of learning outcomes with students’ PDP records / e-portfolios Pilot this tool within HE Engineering Departments during the Academic Year Offer this tool to the Engineering academic community from September 2008

e-Portfolios for the 21 st. Century: Edinburgh: April 2008 The EASIMAP tool assists academics to: Map programme, module and assignment learning outcomes to the Engineering Subject Benchmark Statement based on the UK-SPEC Record student attainment of learning outcomes Provide formative assessment feedback Transfer assessment data directly to each student’s personal development planning (PDP) record or e-portfolio

UK-SPEC Standards (General & Specific Learning Outcomes) / Engineering Benchmark Statement UK-SPEC / Programme Matrix Programme / Module Matrix Module / Assignment Matrix Recording of Assessment for each Assignment: marks & feedback for each student recorded

Data (Marks, Feedback and Attainment of Module/Programme Learning Outcomes) for each student is available for transfer into ………… Each Student’s PDP record / e-portfolio

e-Portfolios for the 21 st. Century: Edinburgh: April 2008 For Engineering academics the EASIMAP tool will: Assist in the design of new programmes that align with UK-SPEC Map existing degree programmes, identifying in the process both gaps in the coverage of intended learning outcomes and the over- assessment of intended learning outcomes Provide evidence – for accreditation, programme review, institutional quality assurance – of the students’ attainment of learning outcomes Help record and monitor assessment and feedback

e-Portfolios for the 21 st. Century: Edinburgh: April 2008 For Engineering students the EASIMAP tool will : Transfer data on assessment, feedback and attainment of learning outcomes to their PDP records / e-portfolios Enable the evidencing of competence and learning attainment Help relate learning attainment to professional engineering standards Encourage engagement with personal development processes such as reflection and planning
