Test Centre
Test Centre enables staff to create and manage a variety of assessment tasks ranging from simple online quizzes to multi-part assignments. It is now available in project sites and as an elective tool in subject sites.
Subject Coordinators are encouraged to read the approved updated (October 2011) Guidelines for the use of Test Centre including risk management and appropriate use of the software for summative and formative assessment to ensure they comply with good practice in online assessment.
There is an LTS Common Teaching Standards workshop on online assessment available on request (contact your ED).
