In May 2008, SQA had funding approved to support the continuing development of National Certificates and NPAs with a focus on the use of technology – the TranSETT Project (www.sqa.org.uk/europe). The funding was provided by European Structural Funds, Scottish Government and SQA. The first year of TranSETT has seen SQA create e-assessments and, in partnership with Scotland’s Colleges, web-based support materials for a range of subject areas. These resources will start to become available for centres to use from August 2009 , supported by a series of dissemination and training events.
In March 2009, SQA was approved for an additional £1.2m of European funding to continue and expand the development of innovative resources supporting a wider range of National Certificates and NPAs. This additional funding has been secured until 2011 and will allow SQA, with its partners, to continue this exciting development. Not only will we be developing more e-assessment and web-based learning materials but would also like to respond to the increasing use of other internet-based technologies to support learning, such as games-based assessment and e-portfolios.
