Benchmarking offers a comprehensive way of measuring current practice in an institution;
whilst also gauging achievement against external sources. Although e-learning has
been benchmarked with a number of universities in the UK and abroad no one to date
has tackled the area of assessment; which is now becoming of more concern with the
advent of e-assessment. This paper describes the construction of a set of benchmarking
measures/indicators and the outcome of early pilots which combine a survey instrument
and semi-structured interview methodologies. The findings suggest that building a
comprehensive and robust core of benchmark measures can have great utility and value
to institutions; not just in external benchmarking but also in internal reviews. It
can also assist with setting baselines, exploring the student experience, providing
staff with data meaningful to their role and professional development together with
supporting a continuous improvement trajectory. |
