Day One, Wednesday 18h March 2009 – The Human Aspect of e-Assessment
e-Assessment, the use of technology to assess skills, knowledge, understanding and competency is underpinning a revolution is the use of ICT in the class room and the workplace. Day One of the e-Assessment Question 2009 will focus on the human elements of these developments from the impact on the learner, to effects on teachers, trainers and managers, to the design and implementation of robust and fit for purpose qualifications and formative assessments; in this the age of the internet and to a generation raised since the birth of the computer, the web, games, social networking and global telecommunications.
Day Two, Thurs. 19h March 2009 – Accessibility and Inclusion in e-Assessment and Learning
All institutions are facing a challenge of accessibility and inclusion, whether that results from obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act, or from language, culture and migration issues or from disaffected youth. The process of accessing the knowledge and skills of this growing cohort, and designing learning or training appropriate to their needs is a daunting challenge. Day Two of the 2009 eAssessment Question conference will focus on the issues surrounding assessment in these circumstances and how the technology can address the challenges and opportunities of these developments.
The programme for the 2009 Conference and Exhibition is taking shape and will put people at the centre of the discussion.
The conference has already attracted wide support from industry and education and we are now seeking speakers, collaborators and partners to sponsor and enhance the event and link to their own services and products.
