Events

The e-Assessment Association in collaboration with the Council for the Curriculum Examinations and Assessment (CCEA) in Northern Ireland, ABC Awards in Nottingham and the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) in Scotland is to hold a series of seminars around the UK.

What is to be covered?
The series of seminars will highlight the benefits of e-assessment in three broad areas of education: Primary/Secondary, Secondary/Tertiary HE and Tertiary FE/Workplace. The speakers will describe the main features in the relevant sector led by a well-known exponent in the field and gather informed views through discussion under the guidance of experienced facilitators. As a delegate at one of the events you will have an opportunity to express your views on this burgeoning field.

What is the e-Assessment Association?
The embryonic e-Assessment Association has three major goals for its community: to provide professional support for workers in this field of expertise, to work collaboratively with members and national organisations to create and communicate the positive contribution that technologies can make to assessment methods and produce a statement of good practice for commercial vendors of e-assessment.

Who should attend?
Anyone with experience in the creation, deployment and delivery of e assessment in its many forms will find the detailed programme stimulating.

What are the expected outcomes?
Each event will conclude by establishing a special interest group in e assessment in its part of the country. At the end of the series of meetings members of eAA will have the chance to review the conclusions of the prepared talks and the condensed discussions following these presentations.
