MoLE was based on a need to provide training and education where the challenge is the inability to train and communicate due to long-standing challenges of low-bandwidth and limited internet connectivity and infrastructure. Even though the participating organizations JKO and Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC), viewed the project from different perspectives, they believed research was needed to show that under unpredictable situations (i.e., full connectivity, low connectivity and no connectivity), m-Learning could address the connectivity challenge.]]>

In this presentation, I propose a naïve definition for defence education – that is education for people concerned with defence sector. They include, people from the three services – army, navy and air force; and civil servants from ministry of defence; and people from defence industry. Clearly, the emphasis is placed on serving personnel in the military and their educational requirements. While such broad definition might alienate security sector, it nevertheless captures the essential points being discussed in this presentation. Much of the characteristics of defence education are derived from the term military education, and are used here interchangeably. The idea of creating an educated military force been perceived as an unattainable goal and often the words “Military Education” evoke a cynical response such as – Isn’t that an oxymoron? Military is one of the important agencies of the state – hence it is logical to infer that educating them would be a national priority. However, many nations often reflect on the educational needs of their defence personnel in the aftermath of great disasters. For example, after the Gulf War in 1991, many analysts started reflecting on how well military education is addressing the study of asymmetric war? More recently, similar questions have been asked about cyber warfare. ]]>

Assessment is an integral part of learning, and yet very little attention is paid to e-assessment when it comes to e-learning. A significant effort has been directed towards developing high quality question items that take advantage of the new medium, and yet there appears to be some resistance to embrace this new medium. There have been interesting developments in the field of e-assessment. Symbolic systems such as Maple T.A. have matured sufficiently and provide a range of question items. Another significant development is in the area of short answer question items that are assessed that are tolerant to spelling and grammatical mistakes. The advent of digital pens that capture audio and written content opens new possibilities. We can now begin to address diagrammatic reasoning more elegantly. In this paper, we make an attempt to review the state-of-play in e-assessment discussing its pros and cons. Starting with a review of technology landscape, we move on to a discussion of some of the perceived concerns for embracing e-assessment both as a diagnostic, formative and summative assessment tool. The paper concludes with a discussion on timely intelligent feedback which still remains a big challenge, and the opportunities that exists to mediate this issue]]>

In this paper, we make an attempt to review the state-of-play in e-assessment discussing its pros and cons. Starting with a review of technology landscape, we move on to a discussion of some of the perceived concerns for embracing e-assessment both as a diagnostic, formative and summative assessment tool. The paper concludes with a discussion on timely intelligent feedback which still remains a big challenge, and the opportunities that exists to mediate this issue <img style="border:1px solid #C3E6D8;float:right;" alt="" src="https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/dacel09sastry-123978730389-phpapp02-thumbnail.jpg?width=120&height=120&fit=bounds" /> Assessment is an integral part of learning, and yet very little attention is paid to e-assessment when it comes to e-learning. A significant effort has been directed towards developing high quality question items that take advantage of the new medium, and yet there appears to be some resistance to embrace this new medium. There have been interesting developments in the field of e-assessment. Symbolic systems such as Maple T.A. have matured sufficiently and provide a range of question items. Another significant development is in the area of short answer question items that are assessed that are tolerant to spelling and grammatical mistakes. The advent of digital pens that capture audio and written content opens new possibilities. We can now begin to address diagrammatic reasoning more elegantly.
