ICT in evaluation, administration and research

ICT changes not only teaching but the back office of education: how tests are made and marked, how institutions are run, and how research is done. An online test generator can build a randomised paper in minutes; an e-portfolio can show a learner's growth over a year; an online repository can give a researcher in a small town the same papers as one in a capital city. Worked example: a university that marks objective tests online, stores results digitally and analyses item difficulty automatically is using ICT in evaluation, administration and research at once.
