Digital Assessment: looking for the best fit

Digital Assessment: looking for the best fit

Over time, different forms of digital testing have emerged for all kinds of reasons within the TU, supported by different platforms. It is now impossible to imagine the current assessment landscape without digital assessment. As contract end dates draw closer, there is a need to look more closely at the way digital assessment is set up at the TU. On the one hand, purchasing rules must be applied correctly to comply with regulations and laws, and on the other hand, this is also a good time to see what is really needed and whether what has evolved over time is still the best fit.

In the previous edition we explained how the project is set up and which progress was made up till then.

In November we finished gathering input from all eight faculties and are now finalizing a draft version of the tender document. It is not an easy task to find the right balance between writing down not too many requirements, because then no supplier will fit, but of course also not too little to avoid missing out on important features. On top of this we need to adhere to the regulations and guidelines for tender procedures.

Next to all requirements, which are also knock out criteria, we also formulate a number of award criteria which represent some features that are extra important and on which we would like to challenge suppliers to present their possibilities. We might be pleasantly surprised by functionalities we did not anticipate on yet but that could be useful for TU Delft.

We will continue to keep you informed via the Educator. If you have questions about the project and/or how it is handled at your faculty, please contact the project manager: Inez de Fluiter, who can be reached via i.de.fluiter@tudelft.nl. We value your input and welcome any feedback!
