Future of assessment forum
Assessing fairly and well has undoubtedly been the most challenging part of teaching during the pandemic. Nothing has caused more stress for educators and for students, since phrases like “proctoring”, “mass cheating”, “invasion of privacy”, “fail rates” and “exhaustion” entered our collective vocabulary. What have we learnt? What will we take from the Time Before and the New Normal to 2022’s Post Reality? Do we want to return to students sitting in parallel rows in exam halls, accept a future of students being watched answering multiple choice questions through their webcams or try something different? It’s up to you to decide.
It’s the end of a particularly exhausting year. Come along to an informal exams and assessment debrief with colleagues from around the University. In this 1.5 hour session you can sit back or share your experiences of the very good, the very bad and the demonstrably ugly from this year’s assessments. Come along to share, reflect, explain, question or vent about your assessment journey, with the aim of coming away with some ideas of how to radically change assessment next year to enhance student engagement and achievement, integrity and accessibility.
Shape the direction that we take as an institution. Nothing is off the table.
