Review:
'The strength of this book lies in its useful account of standard approaches (e.g., to question design and evaluation) and its record of sensible considerations (e.g., alternative marking schemes). Rather than delve deeply into arguments for and against, or the pitfalls and potentials of any specific technology, the authors provide a broad perspective based upon personal acquaintance with the relevant literature. There will be few readers who fail to find useful contrasts and insightful suggestions within the text.' - George Weir, LTSN-ICS website
'[Bull and McKenna] have provided a most useful introduction to the main practical issues currently associated with computer-assisted assessment ... One of the book's greatest strengths is that it is eminently readable, with clear chapter divisions and helpful cross-referencing.' - Assessment in Education
