About EAMS
Running for the second time in 2018, the international conference on E-Assessment in Mathematical Sciences is a three-day academic conference organised by Newcastle University.
The conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners with an interest in e-assessment for mathematics and the sciences.
Over three days, EAMS 2018 will comprise a mix of talks and hands-on activities:
- Developer updates from the people responsible for popular mathematical e-assessment systems, detailing the latest features.
- Lightning talks on a variety of topics to do with e-assessment in mathematical disciplines.
- Hands-on workshops led by experts in a variety of e-assessment systems.
- Live demos led by experts in the field.
- Code sprints with the aim of adding features to systems, writing documentation, or creating material on a particular topic.
EAMS is sponsored by Newcastle University and MatRIC.
