Electronic management of assessment workshop

22 January 2015 Free - booking required etc venues Maple House 150 Corporation Street Birmingham B4 6TB https://www.etcvenues.co.uk/venues/maple-house

We warmly invite you 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, e-marking and e-feedback.

This is the second of two workshops, building on the findings from the first stage of the research, the recently published landscape review that identified a number of challenges facing the sector in relation to EMA , as well as further activity prioritising those challenges.

In our first workshop, the stakeholder community collaborated on the generation of a range of solution ideas in response to those challenges. This second workshop will engage participants in validating and refining those concept areas. These refined ideas will be taken forward to be considered for potential implementation.
