Advancing Assessment Day

Our Talks and Activites

Where is assessment headed? How have technological advances changed assessment and how learners can prepare for exams? What are the most common challenges students face nowadays? 
The 3 talks at this year’s Advancing Assessment Day look at how learners can use AI to enhance learning and not circumvent it, how digital analytics can be used on an ongoing basis to make exam prep as meaningful as possible, and how paraphrasing can be used effectively and naturally to improve scores. 

 

The event will take place live 3 times on Tuesday 6th May
at 10am, 2pm, and 9:30pm UK Time and will last for around 2 hours.
