Headline: ICT Sats exams take place on internet
Description: ICT Sats exams take place on internet
23/05/2005


Teenagers sitting Sats exams in information and communications technology (ICT) have been carrying out their tests over the internet.

For the first time, UK pupils have been given the opportunity to take exams online as part of a pilot scheme to see how the tests can benefit both pupils and teachers.

It is hoped that the tests will pave the way for compulsory online exams in ICT by 2008, and is being run across 500 schools.

Designed and operated by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), the tests are being piloted by 13- and 14-year-old pupils being examined on core skills as part of their Sats.

The idea is to make the system easier for teachers because the computers check the answers themselves, and although the results are checked by human markers, the scheme is designed to speed up the marking process.

Pupils have also responded well to the use of computers, with many finding them less stressful because they are usually taken in an ICT classroom, rather than a large exam hall.
