eAssessment Scotland 2013 - Transforming Assessment Webinar 28 August 2013
Presenters: Robyn Pierce, Caroline Bardini and Kaye Stacey (University of Melbourne, Australia)

This session reports on some preliminary findings of our current OLT grant project on students' understanding of algebra. This seed project will pilot an online diagnostic assessment system to investigate students' conceptual understanding of algebra and will support educators' attempts to identify and correct key misconceptions across first year subjects in mathematical sciences. A description of the preliminary online maths survey is presented as well as the concept of Specific Mathematical Assessments that Reveal Thinking (SMART tests) at the core of our online diagnostic system.

This session was hosted by Professor Geoff Crisp, RMIT University and Dr Mathew Hillier, University of Queensland, Australia starting 07:00AM UST/GMT. Duration 1 hour, 22 minutes.
