Beyond the Exam:
Innovative Approaches to Learning and Assessment
19-20 November 2003, Watershed Media Centre, Bristol
Digital technologies may offer the opportunity to test better, test
faster and test more effectively. This conference explores whether these
technologies can also revolutionise our approach to assessment, enabling
us to encourage and measure the full range of complex skills required
for life in the digital age and to develop a system that fully supports
learning.
In bringing together the technology, education, policy, media and
academic sectors and by combining studies of assessment with detailed
examples of innovative practice, this conference provides the first
coherent debate on how to shift our thinking of assessment beyond the
exam hall in the digital age.
Programme highlights, as well as workshops and case studies, include
keynotes from:
* Professor Paul Black, King's College;
* Martin Ripley, QCA;
* Marc Prensky, Games2train.com;
* Professor Guy Claxton, University of Bristol;
* Professor Jim Ridgway, University of Durham;
* John Bangs, National Union of Teachers.
