Creating statistics e-assessments using Dewis with embedded R code (2016)
Journal Article

We report on the creation of statistics e-assessments using the Dewis system with embedded R code. Dewis is a fully algorithmic open-source e-assessment system designed and developed at the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE). Dewis’ abi...

Using electronic exams to provide engineering mathematics students with rapid feedback (2016)
Book Chapter

With increased sophistication and capabilities of e-Assessment systems it would seem that online examinations will become standard practice, particularly for numerate subjects, in the near future. We have gained valuable experience in this area thro... Read More about Using electronic exams to provide engineering mathematics students with rapid feedback.

Using technology to inspire and enhance the learning of statistics in a large cohort of diverse ability (2015)
Book Chapter

In this paper we illustrate how we have used technology to teach and efficiently assess statistics within a Level 2 research skills module delivered to Business School students. The student cohort was a large diverse group of non-mathematicians and t... Read More about Using technology to inspire and enhance the learning of statistics in a large cohort of diverse ability.

Using e-assessment to improve numeracy in pre-registration nurses and midwives (2015)
Book Chapter

Numeracy is a core requirement for all pre-registration nursing programmes studying in the U.K. At present each nursing discipline at the University of the West of England, Bristol provides their students with a numeracy booklet which they are expect...

Using e-assessment to promote engagement in engineering mathematics (2015)
Book Chapter

The number of engineering students at the University of the West of England has increased substantially over the last few years and this has in part led to challenges in the delivery and monitoring of students taking the Engineering Mathematics modul...

Diagnosing student errors in e-Assessment questions (2015)
Journal Article

© The Author 2015. We demonstrate how the re-marker and reporter facility of the DEWIS e-Assessment system facilitates the capture, analysis and reporting of student errors using two case studies: logarithms and indices for first-year computing stude...

Intelligent marking in summative e-assessments (2012)
Journal Article

This paper describes our experiences of employing the algorithmic e-assessment approachto summative assessments in a large cohort first year engineering module at the Universityof the West of England, Bristol (UWE). The philosophy of this approach, w... Read More about Intelligent marking in summative e-assessments.

Limiting behaviour of particles in Taylor-Couette flow (2010)
Journal Article

Negatively buoyant inertial particles are tracked in a steady Taylor vortex background flow with gravity acting along the axis of the cylinders. Particles are found to either fall through the apparatus due to gravity or to be within retention zones.... Read More about Limiting behaviour of particles in Taylor-Couette flow.
