The capstone project is the culmination of a student's academic learning, providing an opportunity to demonstrate and further their knowledge and their organisational, practical, theoretical and communication skills with valuable guidance from industry partners. From the perspective of both the student and the academic, fair, just and accountable assessment is the ideal, however often difficult to achieve. Previous research by the authors presented a paper based toolkit to assist supervisors in both formative and summative assessment of capstone projects that does not focus entirely on the final product. Trials of the toolkit demonstrated that although it provided an excellent measure of individual student contribution and achievement, it required an inordinate amount of work by both parties to be efficient and effective. To alleviate the workload and provide individual and comparative instant feedback, an online version of the TCS System, has been developed and tested by students and staff. This paper reviews and discusses the structure and benefits of the online system and the results of the software testing in relation to educational values.
