Building a 21st Century Assessment System to Support Learning & Skills

Assessment Tomorrow
Learning and Skills Sector

23rd November 2007 at the Cavendish Conference Centre

The Conference
The pattern of learner accreditation and qualifications for the Learning and Skills Sector is changing with the introduction of the new Framework and 14-19 Diplomas. e-Assessment will play a key role in ensuring that these developments are accessible to as wide a range of learners as possible. This conference will look at some of the latest developments, tools and techniques in assessing these skills and their importance for the Learning and Skills Sector. We will be looking at how they may be used in the future to support the changing qualification landscape. That is from the perspective of the learner, the deliverer and the employer. An impressive group of high profile speakers will contribute experience, insight and guidance in the subject, including experts in vocational qualifications, work based learning and its assessment, CPD, e-portfolios and data collection and analysis. Assessment Tomorrow (the team behind the highly successful e-Assessment Question and Assessment Tomorrow international conferences) presents the fourth annual conference for the Learning and Skills sector.

Objectives
Goal : To provide a forum to discuss the issues involved in the use of innovative solutions such as IT, Communications Technology, electronic portfolios, technology based distance learning, the internet and multimedia to deliver qualifications and assessments of competency, knowledge, skills and behaviour.
To review current progress and identify key areas of activity such as the development of the e-portfolio.
To identify the key characteristics of these solutions and the extent to which their use in work based learning and educational establishments enhances learning and administration of the qualifications and assessments
To identify key drivers and constraints on progress
To provide an opportunity to costs and benefits of these approaches.
To bring practitioners together to discuss and raise subjects of mutual interest.
