e-Assessment Awards (and why you should have an awards strategy for your business!)

I’m delighted to be a judge for the 2021 E-Assessment Awards. Now in their 5th year, the award website describes them perfectly:

‘Recognising excellence, the awards are an opportunity to showcase globally the very best practice, research and innovation in testing and assessment, where the use of technology has enabled transformation, improved outcomes and enhanced learning and teaching’

Each year we have seen a significant increase in the number of organisations submitting entries for the awards based on high quality, transformative projects.

Entries have closed now for the 2021 awards but, if you are involved in assessment, then I would very much recommend taking a look at the brief synopsis of previous award winners on the website as there is information about some really effective implementations of e-assessment best practice in many different settings (Home - E-Assessment Awards).

There is also a great article by Teresa Jacobs (a fellow E-Assessment Association board member) which provides some really good reasons why organisations should seek the recognition of winning a prestigious award. Teresa explains the benefits it brings to the team, to the strategic clarity of your business and the significant networking and PR benefits.

I can testify, as a previous winner of the E-Assessment Award for Excellence in Export, that the points Teresa makes are true for the Assessment market and definitely apply whichever market you work in.
