Abstract
Assessment and learning are two sides of the same coin [Ramsden, 1992, Biggs, 1999] and their relationship has also been likened to the participants in a three-legged race [Harding & Craven, 2001]. The aim of this paper is to explore the potential of e-assessment to provide solutions to some of the challenges for e-learning. Drawing on decades of development in the United Kingdom higher education sector, this paper addresses key issues for e-learning, in particular the support of learners through formative assessment and detailed feedback and the benefits of, and barriers to, summative e-assessment for both learners and organisations.
