E-assessment - tools, links and resources

Wikipedia describes e-assessment as a generic term to "describe the use of computers in the assessment process" and hence it covers the use of information technology in any "assessment-related activity". Online assessment is used in schools, universities, workplaces and in recruiting and career counseling. E-assessment reflects a world-wide trend to modernize assessment processes in the wake of online learning applications. Workplace assessment is becoming the new arena for e-assessment innovation.
