Handbook of Research on E-Assessment in Higher Education

Abstract

The chapter contributes to establishing a pedagogical framework for the implementation of e-assessment based on learning outcomes. The authors of this work have developed a model for the alignment of intended LOs with e-assessment derived from the concept of alignment defended by different authors. The chapter will describe the ALOA conceptual model for aligning learning outcomes and e-assessment, focusing on specific issues related with e-assessment. The chapter will briefly describe the implementation of the ALOA model in the context of the TALOE project (time to assess learning outcomes in e-learning).
