ALTE 1st International Digital Symposium April 2021 Safeguarding the Future of Multilingual Assessment in the Covid world Our innovative and exciting first International Digital Symposium took place on 28-30 April 2021! We drew together some of the key themes relevant to safeguarding the future of language assessment, in multilingual contexts, in the Covid and post-Covid world. We met in the most innovative VR conference platform, to sustain community and enhance interactivity. |
Discussing the most relevant topics for language assessment The Digital Symposium gives language assessment practitioners and researchers the opportunity to discuss and share ideas about the most important and relevant issues in our field: ones connected to technology such as online testing, automarking, video call tests, remote proctoring, eye-tracking and gamification, but also other key issues such as the CEFR, social justice, migration and dealing with GDPR. |

| Using the most innovative platform to share ideas ALTE events are often praised for the ability to network, and it was important to find a virtual platform which prioritises the need for a sense of community, interaction and engagement. Our symposium uses the Allseated exVo platform to create a true conference experience, and will feature different events in different formats to engage participants with a memorable conference. You'll need to use Google Chrome to access the platform. |
