Education Assessment Research Seminar 12 - 13 Oct 2020

After a summer series like no other, there has been a large amount important research research across the fields of education and assessment.

However the research that was due to be disseminated and discussed with colleagues across Ofqual and UK awarding bodies over the last six months also still has great value in informing future assessment practice.

Therefore this research seminar brings together that research and reflects the themes of Ofqual's cancelled April 2020 seminar - vocational qualifications, accessibility, marking and maintaining standards.

This online seminar will be split over two half-days on the mornings of Monday and Tuesday 12 and 13 October 2020 and is open to anyone with an interest in educational research.
