Assessment Tomorrow was invited by the West Bengal University of Technology to run the first two of a series of seminars in India on e-Assessment - that is the use of technology to measure skills, knowledge and understanding.
Over 25 colleges sent 150 delegates to attend the two seminars, which were very well received. An appreciative audience heard about the tools and techniques of e-Assessment, how it can be applied to successfully provide summative and formative assessments and heard case studies of implementations and the lessons learnt. We greatly appreciate the contribution made by the team from Eduquity and the inaugural addresses from

Response and Welcome from Professor Thakur, VC, WBUT
This invitation resulted from the highly successful Bangalore 2007 Assessment Tomorrow conference (click here for more details) managed by Assessment Tomorrow Ltd.
For those using, or considering using, ICT
to measure the skills & knowledge of candidates taking formal academic or professional qualifications,
or taking advantage of the flexibility and effectiveness of the technology to record and assess learning,
or for continuing professional development of staff, even using it to appraise employees and candidates,
e-Assessment offers exciting and innovative approaches to otherwise costly or inflexible assessment of learners, students or employees. The seminars, lasting 3 hours each, presented options and best practice for the successful selection and implementation of e-Assessment in an educational institution. Attendance at the seminar was by invitation only.
