"The projects described in this report and six companion case studies show that benefits accrue. High quality, valid assessment can be performed which would not be economic without e-assessment; deadlines can be reached which would be otherwise unattainable. Not only is marking workload decreased, but information flow is increased. Tutors can easily check the efficacy of their teaching programmes; students can receive instant feedback on their learning; plagiarism is detected and discouraged; the impact of curriculum changes can be gauged."
