EASIMAP: Assisting the Transfer of Assessment Feedback to

Student e-Portfolios


This session seeks to:

• Describe the aims of the EASIMAP Project

• Demonstrate the Assessment features within the EASIMAP Tool

• Discuss potential application


The aims of the EASIMAP Project are to:

• Develop an electronic online tool to link the assessment of learning outcomes with students’ PDP records / e-portfolios

• Pilot this tool within HE Engineering Departments during the Academic Year 2007-2008

• Offer this tool to the Engineering academic community from September 2008


The EASIMAP tool assists academics to:

• Map programme, module and assignment learning outcomes to the Engineering Subject Benchmark Statement based on the UK-SPEC

• Record student attainment of learning outcomes

• Provide formative assessment feedback

• Transfer assessment data directly to each student’s personal development planning (PDP) record or e-portfolio

For Engineering academics the EASIMAP tool will:

• Assist in the design of new programmes that align with UK-SPEC• Map existing degree programmes, identifying in the process both gaps in the coverage of intended learning outcomes and the over-assessment of intended learning outcomes• Provide evidence – for accreditation, programme

review, institutional quality assurance – of the students’ attainment of learning outcomes• Help record and monitor assessment and feedback


For Engineering students the EASIMAP tool will :

• Transfer data on assessment, feedback and attainment of learning outcomes to their PDP records / e-portfolios• Enable the evidencing of competence and learning attainment• Help relate learning attainment to professional engineering standards• Encourage engagement with personal development processes such as reflection and planning
