UKCDR V2
The purpose of UKCDR V2 is to build up on the first version of the specification, and to summarise the core functional requirements, from a series of academic assessor groups, necessary to support current, minimum best practice, assessment activities. UKCDR takes a particular interest in high stakes assessment, where the items, examinations and associated data need to be kept secure.
Assessment processes, particularly those of a high stakes nature, are in one sense inherently complex, and in another sense, remarkably similar across contexts. As such, the intent is to produce a best practice set of common requirements which will be immediately useful to academic groups who wish to engage, effectively, with the software development community.
Overall, it is hoped that the documentation produced under UKCDR V2 will be a stimulus for the development of pedagogically sound item banking and associated assessment technologies.
This final version of the specification has been developed on the basis of the feedback gathered after submission to UKCDR partners.
