*/Abstract/**/—/**Formative eAssessment can be very helpful in providing
high quality higher education assignments. However, there are obstacles
restricting the uptake of formative eAssessment in higher education
including both cultural and technical issues. When a university is
encouraging the uptake of formative eAssessment internally it is useful to
have case studies from academic schools detailing how academics enthusiastic
about formative eAssessment have used it in their modules. It is
particularly helpful if these case studies document: /i.)/ the principle
obstacles that these champions had to deal with; /ii.)/ a cooperative-design
process through which these obstacles have been dealt with by the champions
(with assistance from e.g. learning technologists); and /iii.)/ an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the resulting formative eAssessments.
However there is a shortage of such real-world long-term case studies. This
paper helps fill this gap in the literature by describing the case of a
Modern Languages module within a Russell Group university (Southampton). The
formative eAssessment solution resulting from the case study utilises our
QTI, mobile QTI, accessibility, and web 2.0 tools and can be positioned at
the cutting edge of formative eAssessment practice. We have evaluated this
with undergraduate student volunteers from Spanish modules and received
positive feedback.*
