AQA signs exclusive 6 year partnership agreement with BTL to deliver e-Assessment programme
BTL Group Ltd is delighted to announce a 6 year partnership agreement with AQA, one of the UK’s largest Awarding Bodies to develop and deliver their e-Assessment programme, TEAL (Technology Enabled Assessment for Learners).
The 6 year partnership will see BTL supply AQA with the Surpass
suite - a Web 2.0 based, enterprise level e-Assessment solution,
providing the tools for AQA to create, manage and deliver their
portfolio of qualifications onscreen. BTL will be providing a full
end-to-end service including project management, training and
support to ensure the smooth transition from AQA's current e-
Assessment solution.
It is anticipated that BTL's technology and expertise in
e-Assessment will enable AQA to take advantage of leading edge
onscreen examination capabilities. AQA already have a huge bank of
research and experience in creating assessments; BTL Surpass will
realise the potential of this wealth.
Keith Myers, Managing Director of BTL explains, "We are delighted
to have been selected as the technology partner for AQA's
e-Assessment programme. We strongly believe that it is by having a
close partnership with our customers, and through listening to
their needs, that we are able to ensure Surpass remains a market
leading e-Assessment solution. We are extremely pleased that BTL
and AQA share such a close vision for the future of e-Assessment
and we look forward to a long, successful partnership."
Andrew Bird, Deputy Director General at AQA added, "We are very
pleased to have joined forces with BTL to develop and deliver our
TEAL programme. We want to respond to the challenge of providing
assessment that is relevant to young people's needs and the
changing world we live in. The expertise and vision we share with
BTL will help AQA to be the market leader, delivering a range of
exceptional products using innovative technology."
