Join IATEFL Testing, Evaluation & Assessment SIG for this webinar with Divya Madhavan and Florian Barral.

Among the lasting accelerations in post-pandemic, EdTech is online assessment - for logistical reasons and practical reasons that resonate with hybrid learning environments. This webinar will speak to language education management profiles and assessment stakeholders seeking to personalise online assessment content to local institutional programs. We will share stories of change management, motivation and skill-building through instructional design for language teachers.
