Abstract

This chapter examines the procedure followed in defining a scoring process to enable the reporting of individual student results for teachers to use in the classroom. The procedure begins with the identification of task features that match elements of the skills frameworks, and is followed by the generation of simple rules to collect data points to represent these elements. The data points are extracted from log files generated by students engaged in the assessment tasks and consist of the documentation of each event, chat and action from each student. The chapter includes examples of the process for defining and generating global and local (task specific) indicators, and examples of how the indicators are coded, scored and interpreted.
