Third Annual Conference & Exhibition on e-Assessment in Scotland

ASSESSMENT TOMORROW EDINBURGH  -  2008
21st Century Techniques and Technologies to Measure Skills and Knowledge

***UPDATE***

12th November 2008 at the Grosvenor Hilton Hotel, Edinburgh
  
We are pleased to announce that Dr Jancet Brown, Chief Executive SQA, has 
confirmed that she will give the keynote address at this conference.

SQA has stated publicly that e-Assessment will play an increasingly important 
role in supporting delivery of their qualifications and that e-assessment offers 
significant benefits to SQA, centres and, in particular, the candidates that 
take those qualifications. 

Whether you are involved in formative assessment in the classroom, or the 
delivery of high stakes qualifications in education or the workplace, you will 
not want to miss this important event.

Following on the success of the first two conferences, and again working in 
collaboration with SQA, the conference will examine the practical aspects of 
implementing e-Assessment, including Computer Based Testing and e-
Portfolios, in education, training and professional development.

Managed by Assessment Tomorrow Ltd., the conference boasts an impressive 
line-up of authoritative speakers and includes a key note address from SQA.

See how e-Assessment offers exciting and innovative approaches to otherwise 
costly or inflexible assessment of learners or employees.
