In recent years, the ARC has been engaged in the generation and dissemination of new knowledge in educational assessment and measurement through the use of information technology. Numerous educational practitioners have benefited from our partnership programmes, research studies, seminars, workshops and publications. We would like to take this opportunity to invite them to share experiences and expertise on the topic of e-assessment.

The theme of this conference is “Exploring E-Assessment for Learning in an Era of E-Learning”. The keynote lectures and presentations will integrate this theme and cover a wide range of sub-themes, including school leadership on e-assessment and e-learning, teacher development for e-assessment and e-learning, synergy between assessment for learning (AFL), assessment of learning (AOL), and assessment as learning (AAL), pedagogy for e-assessment and e-learning, collaborative knowledge creation facilitated by information technology and digital learning environment: networking, digital classroom, cloud learning and mobile learning.

We are honoured to announce that Dr. Richard M. Smith, editor of the Journal of Applied Measurement, USA and Prof. Bor-Chen Kuo from National Taichung University of Education, Taiwan will serve as our keynote speakers at the conference. In addition, Prof. Siu Cheung Kong from The Hong Kong Institute of Education, Prof. Nancy Law from The University of Hong Kong and Prof. Xiaoqing Gu from East China Normal University, Shanghai will serve as our invited speakers at the conference.
