Abstract: This article considers the use of test-driven development in a programming course as an ipsative assessment technique in the open distance learning environment. Ipsative feedback in the form of test-driven development in which assignments are accompanied by test cases designed to provide feedback to the student can aid in the student’s development and understanding and provide the immediate feedback on progress that is missing from the ODL environment. The advantages of using this approach are discussed, and the approach taken to designing assignments is presented.
