www.e-assessment-question.com
With the announcement of the programme for the e-Assessment Question Conference and Exhibition we are also pleased to announce that delegates at the conference will have the opportunity to win the latest version of the Raspberry PI (www.raspberrypi.org). The Raspberry Pi is the innovative, tiny and low-cost computer that you can use to learn programming through fun, practical projects, it is already being used for e-Assessment and e-learning projects. Complete the feedback form at the end of the conference and be automatically enrolled in the prize draw for this exciting and fun tool.
Computer based assessment has grown significantly since the early days of automatic test publishing and certification. We have seen developments like paperless examination projects, e-proctoring, open badges, social media, BYOD, the growth of e-portfolios, the proliferation of question types, the rise of government initiatives and policies following FELTAG and Curriculum for Excellence, including the focus on technology in Apprenticeships, the expectations of digital natives resulting from rapid growth in technology and its use.
Both days will look at the broad spectrum of innovative e-assessment from assessment for learning and formative assessment in the classroom and the workplace, to digital delivery of high stakes qualifications, to the use of technology to support and enhance assessment, qualifications and certification - developing robust, reliable and cost-effective solutions to support learners, teachers and institutions.
Day One, 18th April 2018 will focus on designing, selecting and implementing e-Assessment from the classroom to the workplace at America Square Conference Centre, City of London
