JISC formative e-assessment 2nd practical Enquiry Day, October 2nd

This is the second Practical Enquiry Day (PED) which is being organized as part of the project Scoping a vision for formative e-assessment which is funded as part of the JISC e-Learning Programme. The project was launched at the first PED on 3 July 2008, and involves scoping current practices involving formative e-assessment, and building ‘cases’ where formative assessment is being supported by the use of a variety of electronic tools. Most of the day will be spent building cases of e-assessment in practice and considering the key patterns which emerge.
To register for this event, or for any inquiries, please contact Sarah Gelcich s.gelcich@ioe.ac.uk project administrator.
