E-Assessment Centre Launch @ ETC
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009Learning Innovation are delighted to announce that the new e-Assessment Centre has been officially launched and is ready for use as a service to support Learning and Teaching. The centre was opened by our Senior Management Team on Tuesday 3rd November.
“The majority of the group clearly enjoyed undertaking their assessments using the material as it provided instant feedback. The e-Assessment material has been fully validated by SQA for use and at present can be used to undertake the multiple choice assessments. Now that we have a dedicated assessment centre it will be easier to arrange time/dates to allow students to undertake the assessments”
Jamie Culpan (Carpentry & Joinery)
“E-assessment can support personalisation. On demand assessments benefit learners for whom traditional assessment presents difficulties due to distance, disability, illness or work commitments. On-demand summative assessments can increase participation in learning by enabling learners to progress at a pace and in a way appropriate to them”
Julie McCran (Assistant Principal - Learning & Teaching)

D&AD 2010
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009
D&AD’s Yellow Pencils are recognised the world over as a symbol of true creative achievement.
D&AD has celebrated and nurtured outstanding work in design and advertising since 1962. Each year, the D&AD Annual Showcase provides an unrivalled source of creative inspiration and is a great guideline as to current trends, skills and style in contemporary visual communication. Its also agood indicator of the sort of designers that Further and Higher Education is producing.
So this year, with Telford College now fully joined up to the University Network programme, we’ll be looking to encourage our HND students to submit work based on the 2010 briefs.
The D&AD University Network Programme has been running now for more than twenty years,a nd being a member helps an institution to establish relationships with leading creative practitioners and agencies, provides teaching packs and resources incorporating the best examples of creative practice and execution and adds live industry focused elements to the curriculum.
Membership is aimed at all Higher Education courses teaching creativity including Advertising, Graphic Design, Digital Media, Film & Animation, Photography, Illustration.
One thing I am excited about this year is that D&AD are revamping their web presence to include an online showcase of each institution’s entries, which should give our submissions a great deal of exposure to the right sort of audience.
