This may be used to show all the students or a group or an individual. Information can be presented as 2D graphs. Students can also have entered comments and the lecturer can immediately observe class or individual difficulties and take appropriate action. Each student can import their own survey results and get specific help. The Student Advisor has 400 cards with appropriate advice.
Students can note selected cards for subsequent printing.
The use of computers in teaching, learning and assessment is sure to increase with the amount of funding being provided for the development of software. As pressure on education funding increases it seems inevitable that to a certain degree some teaching functions will be replaced by computers. The area that appears to have the greatest potential is that of assessment and particularly formative assessment utilising immediate feedback. This assessment should be designed to test for both process as well as product. In this respect the work at East Anglia is potentially very important.
