In this episode from the e-Assessment Association, Vice-Chair Tim Burnett chats with Peter Westcott, an educational consultant from Melbourne, Australia. Peter talks with Tim about his journey around Europe and his experience with assessment in Australia.


Peter started his journey in Seville at the iCERi Conference, presenting a paper on a facial recognition tool to measure student engagement. Peter then visited Belgium, Denmark and London looking at a range of exciting educational assessment projects that are underway.


Peter’s passion is the use of technology in Pastoral Care and shares his experiences and observations about the potential technology has for the improvement of the learning journey.
