Project Methodology

A prototype system has already been tested successfully at UniSA. However, various improvements are needed for it to be widely accepted in a diverse range of disciplines and institutions. Consultation with teachers and professional development staff from a diverse range of disciplines and institutions will identify additional requirements. Using the prototype as a guide, software engineers (programmers) will write a new software application that meets the requirements identified by the consultation process.The new software will be tested and evaluated at UniSA. This will result in further improvements to the software. A second iteration of the software will be tested and evaluated in a variety of Australian higher education institutions. Evaluation will focus on improved learning outcomes for students and on increased efficiencies and improved consistency in the assessment and feedback process for staff. The system will be disseminated via a website, conferences, virtual conferences and journal articles.
