BTL converts 13 National Qualification ESOL units into interactive assessments
BTL Group Ltd is pleased to announce that it has completed an 18 month project to convert 13 National Qualification English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) units into e-Enabled and interactive formats for the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). The 13 ESOL units will be created as a SCORM package and also made available as CD ROMs.
BTL has previously worked with the SQA on a number of projects
including: SOLAR, Physics e-Assessment, Core Skills Assessment, the
Internet Safety Exam and ESOL. Together BTL and SQA have developed
Initial Assessment Solutions, Online Formative and Summative
Assessments as well as CD ROM based products.
BTL has experience of developing various learning and assessment
resources aimed at ESOL students, including the BBC's Digital
Curriculum - BBC Jam. With key experience in taking resources that
are defined in paper form, and enhancing them into interesting,
engaging and interactive activities, BTL was the ideal choice for
the SQA.
Alan Wilson, Qualifications Manager, SQA states, "The Scottish
Qualifications Authority is delighted to have collaborated with BTL
in the production of the Interactive CD ROM of ESOL materials. All
learners should find the materials helpful in honing skills of
Listening and Reading - and the tape scripts should assist in
improving pronunciation of spoken English. A thoroughly useful and
exciting resource for all independent, motivated learners."
