In this week's episode, Tim Burnett chats with Romana Moss (eAA Board Member & Royal College of Emergency Medicine), Graham Hudson (eAA Chair) and Gareth Hopkins (Surpass Assessment and Volunteer), Shoeb Mozammel (Vretta), and Jeremy Carter (Sentira XR + 2025 three-time award winner). They discuss:
Tim provides a review of the three-day e-Assessment Association conference and awards in London, highlighting the national roundtable, AI symposium, main conference sessions, and the interactive space where 24 applications were built in just 25 minutes using no-code development tools. The episode captures insights from multiple award winners and conference organisers about the future of digital assessment.
Romana Moss emphasizes how formative assessment can "pinpoint weak points" and provide "deep understanding into why people aren't being as successful as they would like to be," particularly when enhanced with AI.
Graham Hudson and Gareth Hopkins reflect on the extraordinary energy of this year's conference and the importance of accessibility tools in making assessments available to everyone.
Shoeb Mozammel from Vretta shares his experience as an international participant, praising the intimate, family-like atmosphere that sets this conference apart.
Jeremy Carter, who made history by winning three awards in one night, offers practical advice for future award submissions, emphasising the importance of commitment, careful analysis of judging criteria, and making submissions human rather than salesy.
The episode also showcases Tim's innovative interactive session where participants used AI-powered no-code development tools to create functional assessment applications, including an OSCE examination platform with real-time transcription capabilities, demonstrating the rapid evolution of assessment technology.
Finally Tim shares a clip when Gateway Qualifications received their award!
