Ms Andrea Feeney:

In New Zealand, the New Zealand Qualifications Authority is one of the forerunners on this and it is pioneering in assessment. We have met its staff to explore what it does and it is doing it on a small scale because of those practical considerations. There are things that could be considered such as bringing your own device but that is a security issue. If a student is doing an exam and can get onto the web while doing the exam that does not do a lot for fairness and integrity. There are things we need to explore therefore, but research into that is included within the senior cycle reform.
