At this stage you should have a good idea of your own working context, and you should have gathered quite a bit of information and analysed it. Most importantly, you should have a clearer idea of the limitations that you face. This might all seem a bit overwhelming but we reckon identifying these factors early on will provide a solid foundation for progress and reducing wasted time and frustration later on.

At this stage you should be well on the way to developing a critical and systematic approach to working in this area and seeking to interpret your findings in order to develop your own analyses of what may be possible and what may be useful to your students and yourself. So, that covers the systematic component needed for developing effective solutions. In the next section we start to explore the creative dimension of developing effective e-assessments.
