Teaching Scotland (LTS) and The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA)
have procured the Scottish Teaching Assessment Resource. The proposed
solution will provide the basis for a single, integrated and coherent
system of assessment to cover the curriculum ages 3–18. Inherent in its
design will be the capability of providing support for SQA's existing
assessment models but also support, development and implementation of new
assessment models. At the heart of the solution is a repository where all
assessment resources will reside, which will provide a single coherent
national assessment system, building a service for Scotland based on
international best practice.
In addition to the integration with existing online services from the SQA
and LTS, the proposed solution needs to deliver six additional core areas
of functionality:

repository, regardless of the curriculum area, type of assessment, file
format or language or function,

and assessments,
— Allows easy metadata tagging of the assets according to agreed standards
and support for the creation/ adaptation of customisable application

into the repository,
— Produces paper-based assessments but will have the capacity for the on
screen delivery of assessments if and when required in the future,
— Is based upon existing internationally accepted specifications and
standards such as QTI, IEEE LOM, IMS, SCORM, etc,
