Computer aided assessment of calculation skills

Martin Greenhow (Brunel University) has been involved in computer aided assessment in mathematics for many years, and outlined some key principles of the random generation of questions and contextualised automated marking. A structured bank of CAA questions (known as Maths E.G.) is available here, and when logging in to the Teacher Interface, you can create a virtually endless supply of randomly generated, self-marking, practice questions to issue to students (or colleagues) following a specific topic or structure.

Martin's team have been allocated STEM funding to extend the question bank to include questions relating to nursing calculations. Watch this space!
