This session is aimed at those changing their assessment, including those who must do this urgently and those in education support teams developing the skills to assist that change locally.
Come and join our session on redesigning assessments. Our goal is to transition away from traditional exam formats where it is appropriate in the short term and explore alternative assessment methods that support student learning, leverage the latest technology, and uphold academic integrity in the age of AI over the long term. During this session, we will explore strategies for assuring student learning and examine how the assessment mix of courses can be redesigned to enhance the learning experience. We will examine case studies and engage in discussion.
Please bring an assessment to the session either your own or one that is an example of the type you will be supporting others to transform.
Your expertise and insights are invaluable to this session, allowing us to explore the considerations for assessment design across different disciplines.
