  2. The Consultation Phase

  3. We believe the time is right to create: • a Professional Body, provisionally entitled • the e-Assessment Association, • for those working in e-Assessment, and • those using e-Assessment as a significant part of their workload.

  4. Genesis of the proposal • Parallel initiatives in Scotland and England • Agreement to jointly explore • Meetings with British Regulatory Bodies • Discussions at successive e-assessment conferences

  5. Project Activities • Consultations throughout Feb/Mar/April • Via conferences, surveys, website • Research • structures, services, pricing • Monthly reports to Project Board • Complete findings by end May

  6. Questions to be asked of the potential members Through our work we hope to establish answers to the following questions: • Is there a need for a professional, industry led body for e-Assessment? • How would such a body relate to others in the field, especially how would it relate to the Institute of Educational Assessors? • How should the Association support professionals in the eAssessment space? • What segments of the eLearning industry should be supported by the Association, in both the public and private sectors • Should the Association recognise geographic boundaries • What services should the Association provide to its members, and with what frequency should the services be provided? • Should the Association award a badge of competence to its members? • Should the Association determine the competence framework of the eAssessment industry? • How should the Association be funded?
