What did Steve say?
"there is a need for positive disruption to change the current
paradigm of education to realize the use technology in classroom
learning and it's place in assessment"
"given the age of the teaching population they need an
incentive to change and motivation to change, assessment must
reflect teaching and learning, therefore there needs to be a
fundamental change in teaching in our schools"
"students prefer to do things online .... we are doing this in
response to demand from the sector"
"the government's mandate is to move all services online, so
this is in line with current government policy"

What does this mean?
1. All external NCEA end of year
assessment will be marked on line
within 3 years
2. All assessment will be "on
demand" 24/7 doing away with end of
year external examinations all together
within 3-6 years and it is envisioned
that all grading of the "on demand"
assessments will be done within 48
hours.
