REAP International Online Conference

We are pleased to announce that Inspire Research Ltd are the conference organisers for the REAP International Online Conference. The conference is part of the Re-engineering Assessment Practices (REAP) project, a £1m initiative funded by the Scottish Funding Council under its e-Learning Transformation initiative. REAP is a collaborative project involving the University of Strathclyde, University of Glasgow and Glasgow Caledonian University.

This entirely online conference will address "Assessment design for learner responsibility", with three themes focusing on:

• Assessment and the first year experience;
• Great designs for assessment; and
• Institutional strategies (designs) for assessment.

Over 60 case studies were submitted to the call for submissions, which closed last month. The conference will include keynote presentations, expert facilitator led discussion of case studies, panel sessions, and more. The programme is currently being finalised, with details due to be released early in May. The conference itself will run from the 29th to the 31st May 2007 with reading time beforehand.
