experience in using and developing eContent. A mixture of
plenaries, discussions, hands-on workshops, poster presentations

Pre-conference Workshop: Assessment Tools and Interoperabilty
Thursday 4 April, 12.30-16.30, Sheffield Hallam University
Presenters: Niall Sclater and Boon Low
As e-learning proliferates, the use of CAA (Computer-assisted
assessment) increasingly relies on third-party, question-and-test
items which are useful only if they can be re-used, edited and
delivered on different CAA systems and platforms. In this workshop
you will learn about current CAA solutions from commercial
vendors and research projects. The workshop will also cover the
IMS Question and Test Interoperability (QTI) Specification, which is
being developed by an international consortium aiming to provide a
consensus for representing and implementing CAA.
This pre-conference workshop is being offered at a special
discounted price of just £40.
Booking deadline: 21 March 2002.
