One school in Sydney is trailing open book exams, where the open “book” can be any technological tool – podcasts on an mp3, internet access via your laptop or a mobile phone. This occurs within a context where sources need to be acknowledged, thereby avoiding plagiarism. See the article in Sydney Morning Herald.

What do you think? Should we be trialing such types of assessment here at Macquarie?
