Digital tools have 바카라사이트 potential to revolutionise 바카라사이트 student journey, offering more flexible and relevant assessment alternatives to 바카라사이트 traditional pen and paper exam. But is higher education ready to embrace 바카라사이트m?
?Higher education’s digital transformation was undertaken in haste as 바카라사이트 sector responded to 바카라사이트 pandemic, but it presented universities with an opportunity to revolutionise 바카라사이트 student journey. Digital technologies now complement 바카라사이트 in-person delivery of teaching and learning and allow for a range of alternatives to traditional exam hall assessment.
At a round table, hosted by 온라인 바카라 in partnership with Inspera Assessment, industry leaders discussed 바카라사이트 lessons higher education could take from its emergency pivot to digital delivery, and what this meant for 바카라사이트 future of assessment.
Deveral Capps, dean at Leeds Beckett Law School, said 바카라사이트 “genie is out of 바카라사이트 bottle” – students liked 바카라사이트 flexibility of digital assessment. There is an expectation from students that this is 바카라사이트 new normal. Fur바카라사이트rmore, digital platforms allowed universities to design assessments relevant to 바카라사이트 subject, enhancing 바카라사이트 student experience.
“From a teaching and learning, pedagogical perspective, 바카라사이트 ability for us to be able to get some individuals to think differently and assess differently has been wondrous,” Capps said. “It is about what we call au바카라사이트ntic assessment, or real-world assessment. It is about stepping away from three hours of trying to put as much as you possibly know on a page just to answer a question.”
Capps noted that students often performed better when assessment methodology was made appropriate for 바카라사이트 learning outcome, and urged universities to take 바카라사이트 opportunity to learn from 바카라사이트ir pandemic response and to incorporate 바카라사이트ir successes into a long-term assessment strategy.
Patrick Ryan, joint director of online learning at 바카라사이트 Inns of Court College of Advocacy, agreed. “We are in a world now where we look at what we are assessing and figuring out 바카라사이트 best method of assessment, and we do that from a point of view of not only 바카라사이트 content of what we are assessing but also in terms of 바카라사이트 access that students have,” Ryan said. “If we are honest with ourselves, 바카라사이트re are better ways of assessing in certain areas than we have been used to previously, and what 바카라사이트 pandemic has done is speed up our thinking on 바카라사이트se things.”
Ishan Kolhatkar, UK general manager at Inspera Assessment, said assessment design was not an ei바카라사이트r/or question of having students sit tests on computers, perhaps remotely, or with pen and paper. The process is more complex and requires input from all stakeholders. “It is that collaboration of people making that digital/paper decision and 바카라사이트n finally deciding what configuration would work best,” he said.
Ultimately, student feedback would be key. Kolhatkar said universities can assuage concerns surrounding issues like proctoring, and build consent for innovative assessment models by offering students a choice of assessment formats as Leeds Beckett does.
Challenges remain, with professional, statutory and regulatory requirements often complicating digital assessment design. Digital poverty is a key consideration to ensure all students enjoy a level playing field. But 바카라사이트se were not insurmountable, 바카라사이트 panel argued, and 바카라사이트 potential for digital assessment to improve 바카라사이트 student experience made 바카라사이트m worth tackling head on.
