Gold sponsor Pearson VUE to answer biggest testing questions at 3rd European Association of Test Publishers Conference
Social media? Mobile technology? Serious gaming? The future of certification? All big questions which Pearson VUE will answer when it addresses awarding bodies and assessment experts at this year's European Association of Test Publishers (E-ATP) Conference.
Computer-based testing, though still relatively new across
Europe, has already established itself as a superior alternative to
the traditional method of pen and paper. Now certification and
awarding bodies are looking to understand and utilise the latest
digital platforms to enhance the delivery, reach and promotion of
their exams - with the industry's flagship European event providing
the perfect platform.
Held in Prague, Czech Republic, from 28 to 30 September 2011, this
year's conference will enable attendees to discover the latest
advances in assessment, share practices and form new business
relationships.
With its experts and partners set to cover an array of topics, the
Pearson business is planning its most dynamic presence at the
annual event yet. Having once again secured the prestige of being a
gold sponsor, Pearson VUE is set to take centre stage to discuss
topics such as assessing potential, medical selection testing and
certification opportunities in the coming decade.
This year's programme, which is based on the streams of Talent,
Technology & Innovation and Best Practice, will welcome a
diverse range of delegates and speakers. Those expected at the
conference include representatives of Ministries of Education, test
publishers, awarding bodies, curriculum authorities, policymakers
and organisations responsible for testing candidates' skills,
competencies and knowledge.
Gary Gates, Senior Vice President, Global Business, said:
"The E-ATP Conference is now a key date for assessment
professionals. Europe is switching on to computer-based testing and
many of our European clients are even looking to more innovative
solutions, such as delivering practical tests via tablets, and
E-ATP is the perfect showcase for innovation."
Pearson VUE remains the most successful computer-based testing
provider in the world and delivers the largest computer-based test.
The Driving Standards Agency's (DSA) Driving Theory Test is
administered to approximately 1.6 million candidates annually
throughout Great Britain.
