ICT based assessment

There are no ICT-based assessment schemes at national level. However, a very few such assessment schemes exist at cantonal level, the most important of which is called “Stellwerk”, a web-based and curriculum-linked assessment tool for gauging and comparing – according to pre-defined standards – the performance in German and mathematics of pupils from different classes and schools at the end of forms 8 and 9 (age groups 15-16). At present the “Stellwerk” tool is officially used by the cantons of St. Gallen and Berne.

Computer-based ICT assessment

In the context of the PPP-School on the Net project a system of competence evaluation on computer skills has been developed. It is called “Test your ICT competences” and is available on educanet², at present in German only. ECDL is available on the same platform, payable according to the status of the schools using it.
