Why does eAssessment make sense for schools throughout

the world?


A discussion that began in 1971...

“What is needed is a process of assessment which is as valid as possible, in the sense that it really assesses the whole endowment and personality of the pupil in relation to the next stage of his life, but at the same time sufficiently reliable to assure pupils, parents, teachers, and receiving institutions that justice is being done. Yet such a process must not, by its backwash effect, distort good teaching, nor be too slow, nor absorb too much of our scarce educational resources.”

(Peterson, ADC. 1971. New Techniques for the Assessment of Pupils’ Work. Council of Europe, Strasbourg.)


Reason 1: Aligns with IB assessment philosophy

Reason 2: On-screen assessment leads the way
