BenefitsBenefits Ability to use interactive items or simulations Ability to offer assessments on demand Provision of feedback to aid the learner Adaptive assessments can enable learners to repeat questions over and over

until understood can include ‘hints’ and ‘help’ when learners are stuck can provide ‘rich’, detailed feedback on where and why

an answer was incorrect can automatically link to e-learning support materials Can collect all the evidence for a whole group and

enable the teacher to customise her/his teaching programme
