Despite the increasing importance of digitization in all facets of teaching and learning,
digital moderation (eModeration) has received little attention in research and practice.
No evidence-based requirements on the secondary school environment could be
found for the development of a digital moderation system. This finding provided the
rationale for an investigation into the requirements for an efficient eModeration system
for IT and CAT assessments at grade 12 level in South Africa. A critical literature
review was employed to explore eModeration and the requirements for a digital
moderation system. This study is novel in exploring the applicability of post-adoption
technology acceptance models to a pre-adoption system. The inquiry was guided by
the overarching research question of: What are the requirements for an efficient
eModeration system for IT and CAT SBA assessments at grade 12 level in SA? This
dissertation concludes that there is currently no dedicated eModeration system in use
in the secondary school environment. This study draws on the eModeration literature,
the technology adoption literature and empirical research in the private secondary
school environment of IT and CAT assessments at grade 12 level in South Africa to
provide an evidence-based contribution to the requirements for an efficient
eModeration system. The findings serve as a theoretical basis for future research into
eModeration systems and can make a practical contribution to future practices and
policies within schools and assessment bodies. / School of Computing / M. Sc. (Computing)
