Awards Categories

Welcome to the International e-Assessment Awards

These annual awards are organised by the e-Assessment Association (eAA) to share and celebrate the many excellent projects demonstrating the value that technology brings to high quality assessment. The Award Categories reflect the changing nature of e-Assessment and how technology is being used to improve the assessment process and make it more accessible, reliable, valid, relevant and cost effective. We also have two awards which recognise the contribution that individuals or teams make to e-Assessment.

Each Award category has a separate set of criteria to help you select the most appropriate category for your project. Please therefore take the time to read the scope and criteria for each category carefully before submitting your entry.

There is a short summary of each category below with more information on each Award category page which you can access by clicking the links below.
