EVENT - eAssessment Scotland conference

University of Dundee

31 August 2012
Online Conference:  23 August – 6 September

This year, eAssessment Scotland turns its attention to the important issue of feedback – what forms it can take, who should be responsible for it, and how it may be acted upon once received., giving them a chance to share their experiences and examples of good practice.
The structure of the conference continues to evolve responding to the feedback they receive each year. Many delegates felt there was far too little time on the day to absorb all the good content in eAssessment Scotland 2011 and so, for 2012, they are running a parallel online component. This online conference will run before, after and during the day conference held at the University of Dundee on 31 August.

This is a joint conference of the Southern England Consortium (SEEC) and the Northern Universities Consortium (NUCCAT).  Early in 2012, the UK Credit Forum (UKCF) undertook a major survey of HE credit practice in the UK.  Previous surveys had been conducted by the NUCCAT, SEEC and the EWNI Credit Forum around ten years previously. This conference will formally launch the findings of the report based on credit use in over 60 institutions.  This event includes publication of the ‘UKCF Survey of Credit and its Uses, 2012’.
