\n\tOn Tuesday 4th<\/sup> September 2018<\/strong>, 74 colleagues representing 34 UK Higher Education institutions attended the EMA Programme, \u2018Remaking Marking Conference\u2019 in the Meadow Suite. The conference enabled colleagues from across the sector to come together to share good practice and to discuss challenges and opportunities involved in the implementation of electronic assessment.<\/p>\n

A series of guest speakers presented a summary of their institution\u2019s approach to embedding EMA and a discussion of the effectiveness of this approach. Dr Rachel Maxwell, the Head of Learning & Teaching Development at University of Northampton, presented first and delivered a brief history of implementation at the University of Northampton followed by an overview of the pedagogical transformation that EMA delivered. Dr Maxwell included debate on a number of issues including the opportunity created by electronic management of assessment for colleagues across the sector to reflect on their assessment practices asking whether, for example, exams were more of a habit than geared towards the delivery of learning outcomes.<\/p>\n
