Abstract

An online clinical phonetic transcription exam was designed as part of a redeveloped second year exam of clinical skills within a Speech and Language Pathology degree. This paper describes the design, implementation and evaluation of this pilot phonetic assessment. Results show that students responded well to this method of assessment, indicating high levels of preference for the individually viewed video, and also high levels of enjoyment. These findings suggest that institutional Moodle-supported VLEs are appropriate for hosting and providing appropriate assessments to replicate clinical settings.
