eas2009The winners of the first Scottish e-Assessment Awards were announced at last week’s e-Assessment Scotland conference.

The conference was one of the most popular ever hosted by the JISC Regional Support Centres with partner organisations: Dundee University, e-Assessment Association, SQA, e-Learning Alliance and Higher Education Academy. Delegates flocked from schools, universities and colleges, clearly showing that the subject of e-assessment had hit a nerve across all sectors.

The Awards were presented by Cliff Beevers, chair of the UK’s e-Assessment Association.

The links below are to short-listed entry posters, which describe the projects that were displayed at the event. There are plans to produce a publication detailing all of the entries for the Awards.
