Incorporating assessments within learning ecosystems that include informal and workplace learning will be a key theme of the Questionmark 2013 Users Conference in Baltimore, Maryland, March 3 – 6.

This will be the 11th annual North American conference organized by Questionmark®, a global provider of assessment technologies and solutions – and a celebration of the company’s 25^th anniversary.

Keynote speaker Charles Jennings, former Chief Learning Officer for Reuters and Thomson Reuters and now the head of Duntroon Associates, will deliver a keynote on Meeting the Challenge of Measuring Informal and Workplace Learning.

Concurrent sessions will include presentations about best practices in assessment and measurement, customer case studies, product demonstrations, peer discussions, and instruction in the use of Questionmark technologies for creating, delivering and reporting on survey, quizzes, tests and exam. Participants will meet with Questionmark technicians and discuss future technologies with Questionmark’s product management team.
