EARLI/Northumbria Assessment Conference 2010

This conference will continue the tradition of the Northumbria/EARLI SIG Assessment Conferences by providing a forum where delegates can exchange ideas in a pleasant and comfortable venue. The number of delegates is limited to 120 in order to maintain an informal, collaborative and participative atmosphere.

The conference will explore the ways in which assessment impacts on students’ experiences of learning and ways of improving learning via assessment in all sectors of education (higher education, early years, primary, secondary and further education), different disciplines and different educational systems. Submissions can focus on assessment cultures and assessment reform more broadly as well as research on specific innovations in assessment, including e-assessment. The conference will be of interest to both education researchers and practitioners with an interest in assessment.

Keynote Speakers:

• Gordon Stobart, Institute of Education, University of London, UK
• Liz McDowell, Northumbria University, UK
• Royce Sadler, Griffith University, Australia
