Becta is hosting its annual Next Generation Learning (NGL)Conference at the ICC on 9 March 2010. The theme of the conference is "Time to innovate: Maximising value in Further Education and Skills." The conference will focus on harnessing technology to deliver greater efficiency and effectiveness and recognising current best practice in the sector to achieve better use of resources. There will be guidance, examples of some "quick wins" and discussion of the opportunities from existing and future innovation in technology.

Last year, Scotland’s largest annual e-Assessment conference brought together speakers from schools, colleges and universities to showcase innovation and best practice in the field. This year, the conference is moving to a larger venue and broadening its scope to examine how technology can be used to enhance the use of assessment in education, training and the workplace. We will continue to highlight developments in Scotland, but will be inviting speakers from across the UK and beyond to share their experiences of e-Assessment.
