The brief

Address institutional change by engaging
academics and students in co-design and
co-deployment.
Place the quality of student learning as the
first objective.
Implement an open source1 solution to
institutional e-assessment.
Integrate open standards1 services currently
available within the JISC eFramework.
The project addresses technical and
institutional issues in formative e-assessment
by deploying the EdSpace repository and
integrating a variety of JISC-funded project
tools and standards.
