Digital Learning Spaces and Assessment for Learning

During the edu-days, a presentation on the project ATS2020 was held on 31 March 2016 in Danube University’s auditorium maximum by Andrea Ghoneim. The information about the formative process for students’ self assessment, peer assessment and the role of the teacher in assessing transversal skills was welcomed with great interest. During the world café discussions following the presentation, the Austrian partner of ATS2020 was invited to present more about the ATS2020 way of assessment for learning with ePortfolios for the Austrian KidZ-schools in June 2016.

Every year, teachers and trainers, educational technologists, representatives from the ministry of education, and other players in the field of technology-enhanced education gather at Danube University Krems (Austria) for the edu-days. In spite of its size, the conference maintains an almost family-like atmosphere and is a great opportunity for exchanging ideas, good practice and information. Held on 30 and 31 March 2016 this year, the edu-days counted 334 attendees and speakers on 30 and 31 March 2016. In addition vivid external participation via Twitter made #edudays trending hashtag in the German speaking countries.
