d. Assessing Learning

The webs produced will form the main evidence of the extent to which each group of pupils have met the learning objectives set out in Part 1a. These objectives can be used by the pupils in evaluating the websites, as well as by the teacher in carrying out an assessment of each group's learning. A mark out of four could be awarded for each of the five objectives, with each member of a group gaining the same mark.

Assessment of individuals will be particularly difficult in this situation, but the monitoring of progress should have highlighted any particular strengths or weaknesses in certain pupils, which ought to be recorded for future reference.

Questions for Consideration

  • How else could you assess pupils' IT capability, and their knowledge of IT systems development?
  • How good is this other method at identifying individual attainment, rather than that of the group?
