Electronic management of assessment: challenges to solutions workshop

9 December 2014 Free etc. venues, Paddington https://www.etcvenues.co.uk/venues/paddington

We invite you to attend a consultation workshop on the electronic management of assessment ( EMA ) project. 

The term EMA is increasingly being used to describe the way that technology can be used to support the management of the assessment and feedback lifecycle, including the electronic submission of assignments, marking and feedback. 

The workshop will build on the findings from the first stage of the research, the recently published Landscape Review which identified a number of challenges facing the sector in relation to EMA . These challenges have been prioritised and refined through further consultation.

The focus of this workshop is to generate ideas to move us from challenges to solutions. 

Why you should attend

This workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to shape potential solutions to current challenges with EMA and inform the direction of the EMA project as a whole. It will also provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and techniques between participants, who will each bring a breadth of expertise to the discussion.
