Project Summary

The e-CAF system is a web-based coursework assessment system. Its aim is to address the issues in providing timely, informative and consistent assessment and feedback to learners. e-CAF does that by making it easier for tutors to:

  • reduce the turn-around time of coursework feedback to learners;
  • include structured individual formative feedback, which is clearly linked to specific points in a coursework submission; and
  • assess large classes more consistently and transparently using detailed marking schemes.

The e-CAF project is supported by the Teaching Quality Enhancement Fund (TQEF) administered through the Flexible Learning Development Centre (FLDC) at Aston University.
