An e‐learning framework for assessment (FREMA)

Abstract

The paper reports on the FREMA (Framework Reference Model for Assessment) project that aims at creating a Reference Model for the Assessment Domain and delivering it via a heavily interlinked Web site. Because the resulting network of resources (standards, projects, people, organisations, software, services and use cases) is so complex, we require a method of providing users with a structured navigational method that does not require them knowing at first what they might want to find. This led us to look at how overviews of e-learning domains have been handled previously, and work towards our own concept maps that plot the topology of the domain. FREMA was never intended to be a static resource and therefore we converted the original site to use a semantic Wiki, thereby allowing the Assessment Community to use the Knowledgebase to record their own projects, services and potentially new reference models.

Modeling the Computing Based Testing domain extending IMS QTI: Framework, models and exemplary implementations

“…In other words, it is not the same to use a mobile phone with GPS for answering geolocated questions during a route, than answering a test with a computer in classroom. This issue is addressed by the studies made by the FREMA (2007) reference model for the assessment domain and Wills et al (2007). FREMA indicates that the delivery context is an important aspect that has to be included in our assessment scenario design.…”

Healthcare data management issues and the eCert solution

“…The Delphi methodology [5] was employed for the evaluation of eCertificate system design through out its development stages alongside the SORM research methodology [6]. By following this method, a group of domain experts in the UK have been selected for the purpose of security system design, ePortfolio study, and represent of the stakeholders, this includes employment managers, IT security experts, exam board managers, and ePortfolio researchers.…”

Pragmatic web service design: An agile approach with the service responsibility and interaction design method

“…The use case description is used to derive the initial list of operations, which are consequently factored into a set of responsibilities and collaborations. This example is taken from the work of the FREMA project [20] which built a number of reference web service models for the domain of assessment.…”
