Feedback on onscreen assessment
“I am impressed by Pearson’s on-screen assessment for paper 2. The overall approach which seems to have really looked at this from a student's perspective with the no surprises guarantee, minimal keywords and the PLS available in the assessment.”
Michael Naylor, National Lead Practitioner at Oasis Community Learning trust.
"Onscreen programming assessment seems like a really obvious thing to do. Given that computers are where you learn and practice coding" - Harry Wake, aged 15.
