EDiversity seminar & School visits

Invitation to EDiversity seminar: "Examinations and Assessments : Uses and Misuses in 21st Century Education"

As we are talking more about the difficult-to-measure soft skills and attributes desirable for the 21st century, how should we balance the pursuit of big data, design exam and assessment, and use its data to ensure that individual development of students is safeguarded? After months of heated TSA debate, it is opportune to have important academics from the US and Finland visiting HK and join this seminar to give us fresh perspectives on exams and assessments.
