Professor Bob Harrison, Chair of the Judges said, “Yet again it has been an enormous privilege and a tremendous source of inspiration to see how collaboration between educators, assessment bodies, technologists and commercial interests have worked together, despite the challenges of the pandemic. These awards demonstrate the capacity and capability within the world of e-assessment to use technology to improve the assessment process and make it more accessible, reliable, valid, relevant, and cost effective.”

Matt Wingfield concludes, “What has really stood out this year is the scale of deployment, with many of the finalists successfully delivering assessment solutions to hundreds of thousands of students, in some cases simultaneously across multiple rural and urban locations.

“A common thread that has run through many of the submissions has been how technology provided increased levels of contingency in assessment delivery through the pandemic. In many cases, this crisis acted as a catalyst for change, accelerating the adoption of technology-based assessment where there has been previous resistance to such change.”
