e-Assessment Scotland: Strategies across Sectors - Dundee, 25th September 2009

Welcome to Scotland’s first annual eAssessment conference, a chance for the staff from schools, colleges and universities to come together and share their insights as to how eAssessment is being used to improve the student experience.

students_pcThe theme for this year’s conference is ‘Strategies across Sectors’; keynote speakers and individual presentations will highlight innovation and best practice from institutions all across Scotland. You might be surprised to discover how far some have taken the technology and the extent to which academic staff are implementing eAssessment as a normal part of the day-to-day curriculum.

Topics covered include:

  • Games-based formative/summative assessment
  • Web 2.0 assessment in practice
  • Death of pen & paper in essay-based exams
  • Adaptive assessment systems

And much, much more!

The innovation doesn’t stop at the education sector. Scottish companies are behind the development of new assessment technologies, working closely with educators to deliver unique solutions that are gaining attention all across the world.

You’ll have ample opportunity to meet with exhibitors and presenters to discuss how their experiences and products might be applied to your own learning institutions.

The conference will also host the Scottish eAssessment Awards, which recognises achievements in the categories of:

  • Formative e-Assessment
  • Summative e-Assessment
  • e-Portfolio/ePDP
  • Mobile e-Assessment
  • e-Assessment Administration
  • Innovation

The one-day event, at the Hilton hotel in Dundee on Friday the 25th of September, is free to attend. Make sure that you don’t miss out.
