  2. The brief • Address institutional change by engaging academics and students in co-design and co-deployment. • Place the quality of student learning as the first objective. • Implement an open source1 solution to institutional e-assessment. • Integrate open standards1 services currently available within the JISC eFramework. The project addresses technical and institutional issues in formative e-assessment by deploying the EdSpace repository and integrating a variety of JISC-funded project tools and standards. 1 Koper, R.
