Hi Derek, We have been very fortunate in that my SLT were very happy to purchase a few sets of the reading pens, and they are being very well used by the students. I don't have a cunning source of funding but, if it helps sell it at your college, you can remind your SLT that every hour a student spends using one is an hour you don't have to pay an invigilator to sit with them to read. The pay costs/savings really do mount up quickly. It also helps that you can room the students using the pens either in your main exam hall or at least in with other separate room students. It saves having to find endless other rooms to accommodate students and their readers. Kind regards Katie. *Katie Hill* *Examinations & Assessments Manager* *Portsmouth College* *Tel: 023 92667521 ext 307* On Tue, 2 Apr 2019 at 16:07, Derek Ord <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Speaking of exam reading pens, does anyone have a cunning source of > funding for such things? > > > > I’d love to use them, but am not particularly flush with spare cash… > > > > > > > > Thanks > > > > > > > > Derek. > > > > > > > > *Derek Ord* BSc > AMBCS| Data Services and Exams Manager | Business Intelligence (Data & Timetabling) > Hull College, Queens Gardens, Kingston-Upon-Hull, HU1 3DG. > ( 2009 | * [log in to unmask] | www.hull-college.ac.uk > > > > *From:* The FE Exams Network mailing list <[log in to unmask]> > *On Behalf Of *Charlotte Leiper > *Sent:* 02 April 2019 16:00 > *To:* [log in to unmask] > *Subject:* Rooms for readers > > > > Hi Folks > > > > Do any of you have any advice on the maximum number of readers you can > have in a room?
