Abstract

This theory driven chapter documents a robust assessment strategy for writing in English that makes innovative use of technology and Rasch analysis to ensure highly efficient administration and fair and accurate grading of student work. The assessment strategy is flexible for both face to face and off campus administration, and offers an adaptable yet rigorous assessment tool that can survive the uncertainty of ever-changing delivery modes. The approach could be applied to any course seeking to assess student learning through written assessment such as essays or projects. This is an important consideration given the potential growth of distance and remote teaching worldwide in the wake of the Covid19 pandemic. The chapter contributes to on and offline formal written assessment, practical use of multi-faceted Rasch analysis, and highlights the impracticality of online proctoring software in this particular context.
