On August 28th Martha Burtis and Jim Groom (alongside Alan Levine) presented a keynote session for the e-Assessment Scotland Conference titled “ds106: A Framework for Assessment.” The presentation discusses how the course infrastructure/design is modelled upon the web unlike, ironically, most techncial infrastructures for teaching and leanring online. As a result, it has developed an open community that encourages and makes possible a form of communal assessment and feedback that is otherwise inconceivable.
