About the Conference and Exhibition

A broad range of learning, training and study is now assessed using technology. The scope and coverage grows each year

• The tools and techniques in the marketplace are becoming increasingly sophisticated and traditional doubts and barriers are being overcome.

• A number of large scale qualifications are using e-assessment and considerable experience is being gained in education, training and industry.

• There is an increasing expectation by students, employees, assessors and government that the technology will be available to use in a secure, robust and fit for purpose manner.

• The e-Assessment Question has become the key event for discussing all the issues surrounding the practical application of computerised testing and assessment. The impressive attendance of the last six years and the wide range of speakers and exhibitors have shown that there is real interest from the classroom to the workplace in the use of e-Assessment.

This the seventh conference, as with the first six annual e-Assessment-Question events, was an extremely successful international conference and exhibition. An enthusiastic audience including delegates from Japan, US, Qatar, Israel, Netherlands, Ireland and the UK, enjoyed an excellent conference giving practical guidance and advice about e-Assessment and computer based testing and assessment systems. We are proud that the event played a significant role in:

1. Raising the awareness of the importance of e-Assessment
2. Bringing the major players together at one event for an exchange of ideas and to review lessons learnt and opportunities taken.
3. Providing a forum for developing the debate on the selection and use of e-Assessment.
