e-Assessment Question 2017

Conference Goal

To examine how the tools, techniques and technologies of e-Assessment can respond to the challenges of the world we live in. Learners’ expectations are those of the digital age.

From all sides the pressure is on to provide cost effective, robust and secure assessment for learning, examinations and qualifications. At the same time, the tools and technologies are evolving.

These two elements provide, for all those involved, opportunities and risks that must be balanced and that the speakers at the conference will evaluate.
