‘Using  ICT   to  measure  skills,  understanding  and  knowledge

Annual Conference and Exhibition

2009 Speakers

Day One, Wednesday 18th March 2009

Colin Deal, Chair, Day Two

A career spent mainly in the British computer industry which has covered both system and business development, in the UK and internationally. For the last twelve years has concentrated on the application of computers to the delivery of exams, initially the secure certification exams for professionals within the computer sector itself, and then the adoption of such approaches by the Financial Services sector, the Driving Standards Agency, and the Construction Industry’s Health and Safety certifications. Together, these exams represent annual volumes approaching 2 million, so are still dwarfed by the potential that exists in other sectors, which has yet to be exploited and on which his current activities are mainly focused.

Richard Noss, Professor of Mathematics Education, Institute of Education, Co-Director, London Knowledge Lab, Director, Teaching and Learning Research Programme (Technology Enhanced Learning)

“I speak as a heretic whose interest in assessment has historically been to stem the ever-increasing tide of assessment that has swept the UK education system. But in fact, perhaps unwittingly, all my research has been concerned with assessment: primarily trying to understand how learners express themselves with digital technologies - and, more important still - not just understanding how technology supports what they say and do, but what new  things they can express. I will give some examples, and, I hope, provoke a lively discussion -- we'll see!”
