TL;DRAbstract

Satellite positioning education presents a number of challenges for the teacher in providing\neffective student feedback and assessment. Assessing the student's ability to understand,\nanalyse and apply complex multidimensional spatio-temporal relationships and geospatial\ndata have been constrained by a two dimensional paper-based format. Consequently, the\npaper-based system has focused on summative assessment rather than on a student¿s\nformative development. It has also limited the assessment of testing acquisition of knowledge\ncontent rather than consideration of the student¿s individual strengths and weaknesses in\naddressing real world applications and problem solving. Final assessment results do not truly\nreflect the diversity of student skill sets or clearly identify areas for individual improvement\naround deeper conceptual understanding and technical application.
