Electronic management of assessment (EMA) project
»EMA ‐ benefits and drivers are clear
»Challenges surfacing relating to process, practice and technology
»Working in collaboration with the Heads of e‐Learning Forum (HeLF) and UCISA to maximise the benefits technology can offer in the management of assessment

The EMA study
»To gather examples of practices, policies & process as well as approaches to implementation
»To identify the challenges around EMA, in terms of pedagogy/culture, process or technology and to identify existing solutions where they can be found
»To provide interim guidance to institutions on the state of play and effective practice with approaches to implementation
»To make recommendations to institutions, systems providers and Jisc on priorities to address

»Interviews with learning providers
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 10
Headline findings
»Nuanced responses but broad trends visible
»Localised initiatives but beginning to scale up
»System integration is a key problem area
»EMA exposes variability in business processes
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 11
Lots of localised initiatives

Variation in business processes
Pain points
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 15
What causes the pain?
»Anonymity: both ends of spectrum motivated by student pressure
»Resistance: many stakeholders take narrow view; little joined‐up thinking
»Scaling up: may expose technology issues & ‘harden’ staff attitudes
»Feedback: storage & access issues; good practice can be hard to scale
»Practice: may be simple but process workarounds cause frustration & resentment
»Technology: limited range of core products how hard can it really be?
»Formative approaches: less well developed than summative

Where next?
»Priority area for many institutions
»Student expectations are key
»Continued co‐design with you, Jisc, HeLF & UCISA and engagement with suppliers
»Second phase of consultation through a service design approach, moving from challenges to identifying solutions – now till February 2015
»Solution development, including the production of an EMA toolkit –Summer 2015
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 20
Where next?
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 21
Phase 1
Mar–July 14
•Landscape review providing initial identification of challenges and outline of the state of play with regards to EMA
Phase 2.1
Oct–Aug 15
•Second phase of consultation leading to refined and prioritised challenges (speaking as a ‘single voice’)
•Moving from challenges to solutions (Oct – Jan) •Solution development (Feb – July)
Phase 2.2
Oct–Aug 15
•Ongoing development of resources for the ‘toolkit’ based around the assessment and feedback lifecycle
Moving from challenges to solutions
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 22
A service design approach
Service design
Service design helps imagine a better future for customers and organisations alike.
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 23
What is it?
Livework and Jisc
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 24
eg. National Monograph Strategy Re‐configuration of libraries as services to students and academics
How we approach projects
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 25
Our approach is structured around four phases, each with an activity to verify the chosen direction.
Understand actors and factors that impact customers lives.
Validate assumptions with staff and customers.
Imagine new service scenarios that add value to customer relationships.
Prove what works with customers and staff.
Design services that deliver value to our clients and their customers.
Test frequently and in live settings.
Help create services that work in the real world and deliver value.
Monitor and guide the implementation.
Moving from challenges to solutions
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 26
Two ways of getting involved
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 27
Two activities
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 28
1. Personas 2. Challenges
Activity 1: User personas
29
Objectives
To create a rich understanding of the key service actors (students, academic staff and administrators).
This will help us in the first workshop where we imagine solutions to the challenges.
Electronic management of assessment: moving on
Activity 1: User personas
1. Choose at least two typologies (e.g. student, lecturer)
2. Give them a name and define their role
3. Describe their main motivations. What do they want? What do they need to achieve?
4. Think and describe their needs.
5. Define the dependencies, enablers and constraints.

How?
Activity 1: User personas
Visit our blog for the link
Complete a Google form for each.
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 31
How?
Activity 2: The challenges
To create real, human stories which bring all of the challenges to life.
These will help us in the first workshop where we generate user‐centred solutions to the challenges.
Electronic management of assessment: moving on 32
Objectives
Activity 2: The challenges
1. Visit the blog and review each challenge
2. Select those which you can think of specific examples, real stories or anecdotes for.

Activity 2: The challenges
3. Use the form to write your stories.
4. You will be able to see the stories others are posting, so reference or build on them.
