Apologies for Cross Posting

Dear Colleague,

Many universities are seeking innovative ways to support the management, quality assurance, and enhancement of assessment processes and practices to improve the student experience and increase student satisfaction.

For those interested in exploring this topic and seeing examples of effective practices, TaskStream is hosting an invitational seminar on Wednesday 10th November at the Rosebowl at Leeds Metropolitan University, featuring Professor Sally Brown, renowned author on assessment, learning and teaching. There is no charge for the event and lunch will be provided.

We invite you and two colleagues from your university to attend this special event in order to have the opportunity to:

- discuss ways in which technology can support and enhance the integration, tracking, monitoring, and implementation of effective assessment processes in universities;

- learn more about proven technology solutions and share ideas on how such systems might be best used at your university;

- consider the development of a bid to JISC for joint funding to pilot and trial systems in your university

If you are interested in attending the seminar, please contact Andrew Gilmour at [log in to unmask] or 07710 470825.

Best wishes,

Andrew Gilmour and Sally Brown
