Graham Hudson, Chair of the e-Assessment Association expressed his admiration for the innovative and transformative work showcased in the awards entries, “Once again, we have been overwhelmed by the quality of entries for our International Awards with 26 finalists and entries from 12 countries, demonstrating how technology is transforming education and assessment across the world. Those who received the awards at our Gala Dinner last night were worthy winners and we congratulate them. We know how much the eAA’s Awards are valued by our industry. Our thanks go to all those who entered – the task for the judges of selecting the finalists and winners was a hard one – but one that also reinforces the wealth of experience and innovation that exists in the assessment community globally. Without them, our Awards would be the poorer.”

The industry has seen huge change over recent years and many advances in how technology can support, enhance and increase educational opportunities, and now is the time to celebrate those achievements within our global assessment community.”
