“With 62 entries from 12 countries and 21 finalists, the International e-Assessment Awards really demonstrate the level of imagination, innovation and research which is leading change in the industry globally. Over recent years we have seen an increased interest in how learning and assessment can be enhanced by embracing digital technology.

AI developments such as ChatGPT have been a core theme throughout the conference and, while AI is nothing new for our industry, it has helped to raise the profile of the role of digital assessment. Our Award winners demonstrate how technology is transforming the way assessment is approached across the world and we are proud to celebrate their achievements.”
