CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT Assessment Tomorrow 7th e-Vocational Conference
19th November 2014 – Hilton Leeds City Centre see www.e-vocational.co.uk.
“Responding to FELTAG – Technology and the Future Requirements for Assessment
and Qualifications”
The aim of the Further Education Learning Technology Action Group (FELTAG) was to identify obstacles preventing further education providers taking full advantage of technology. The group’s recommendations were designed to remove these obstacles, and encourage the further education system towards the digital future expected by learners and employers.
The London Government’s BIS response to these recommendations, June 2014, firmly placed technology at the heart of vocational education and qualifications for the foreseeable future.
The November 19th Leeds one day conference will focus on the effective use of technology in learning and e-assessment in Vocational, Technical and Professional Qualifications, Education and Training. It looks at how technology can deliver benefits for the learner, provider, sector and awarding organisation, in an efficient, cost-effective, risk-managed and responsive way (www.e-vocational.co.uk)
