Specification

Definition:'The legislation, standards, specifications and guidelines relating to e-assessment.' Managing an e-assessment (particularly high-stakes summative) requires knowledge of and compliance with relevant specifications. For a given institution, several phases of assessment (e.g. item and test construction, delivery, certification) may be subject to several specifications. These may range from local guidelines through to national mandatory legal regulations. External stakeholders (such as awarding bodies) may also impose constraints. Some software systems now adhere to specifications explicitly related to assessment (e.g. IMS QTI) as well as general technical specifications (e.g. XML).
