NTNU and MatRIC would like to welcome you to The 1st Northern e-Assessment Meeting. This is an informal conference for people interested in e-Assessment in Mathematical Sciences at higher education level, arranged in Trondheim, 31 May–2 June, 2023.
The aim of the meeting is to bring together educators, researchers and practitioners with an interest in e-assessment for mathematics, science and programming.
The focus of the meeting will be on types of questions and assessment of students’ replies in a way that facilitates learning. The content will consist of a mix of up-to-date research, best practice-presentations, and experience exchange.
It will be an in-person meeting arranged at the hotel Scandic Nidelven in Trondheim. In addition, possibilities of remote participation are now investigated. Besides the presentations, the meeting will offer plenty of opportunities for discussion and collaboration.
NTNU and MatRIC will cover the conference fee for all participants, this including accommodation, lunch, dinner, and coffee all days.
The meeting will start with lunch at 12.00 on 31 May and finish after lunch at 13.00 on 2 June.
Instructions for submitting abstract We invite to contribute to The 1st Northern e-Assessment meeting. Your abstract of maximum 300 words shall give the participants a good view of what your contribution will be about. In addition, the abstract is the basis for the organisers’ assessment of which talks to include in the programme. We welcome “regular talks”, but also encourage inter-activity with the participants. The time slot for your talk will be 30 minutes. Feel free to choose any theme in line with the conference focus. The organisers also provide a list of suggested themes, which might give you some ideas.
Summative e-assessment in large student groups (800+), and effects thereof
Assessment of tasks that have many steps, handling consequential errors
Formative semi-automatic assessment in mathematics
Dynamic graphics in e-assessment
Question design
Assessment of the solution process, including proofs
How to give hints while students work on problems
More extensive use of programming to assess mathematics
We look forward to receiving your submission of abstract no later than midnight 24 March (CET).
Furthermore, the conference organisers offer some limited financial support for participants whose paper has been accepted, but who do not have the means to attend. If this is your case, you may contact Elisabeth Rasmussen; elisabeth.rasmussen@uia.no by 24 March 2023.
