Jennifer Keenahan, Associate Professor in Civil Engineering at UCL: The Assessment Horizons Conference is a really exciting opportunity to bring together experts, practitioners, and all those with an interest in assessment to learn and to share practice, for all our benefit.
Kirsty Parkinson, Assessment Development Manager, Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply: It’s really great to be here in person with practitioners and researchers, and people from awarding organisations around the country.
Kirsty Parkinson (continued): The people at the Cambridge Assessment Horizons Conference come from different backgrounds – from higher education, further education, awarding organisations. We’ve got practitioners, researchers – it’s a really interesting melting pot of ideas, thoughts, and experiences.
Diana Ji, Managing Director of Study Pathway: Cambridge is also the leader in assessment, so we can see a lot of assessment companies and organisations coming here to learn how to improve assessments. They are learning from Cambridge.
Dr Simon Child, Head of Assessment Training, The Assessment Network: By the end of the conference, we’re confident that the practitioners will synthesise all the information, ideas, and strategies that have been presented to them, and come up with practical solutions to the challenges they face on a day-to-day basis.
