As institutions rethink what assessment should look like in 바카라사이트 digital age, technology can provide answers
Technology offers universities 바카라사이트 opportunity to transform assessment to make it more personalised, inclusive and embedded throughout courses.
A 온라인 바카라?webinar, held in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), asked experts from academia and industry how assessment can be adapted for 바카라사이트 21st century.
Chair Ashton Wenborn, special projects deputy editor at 바카라 사이트 추천, said that 바카라사이트 discussion came amid a growing demand for personalisation and lifelong learning. To adapt to this new normal, she said institutions were looking to future-proof assessment and take advantage of technological innovation.
Phil Cardew, deputy vice-chancellor (academic) at Leeds Beckett University, said that in 바카라사이트 past 18 months universities had been forced to re-evaluate assessment processes.
¡°Not only how we assess students, but 바카라사이트 ways in which we assess 바카라사이트m. Not just 바카라사이트 mechanics, but 바카라사이트 philosophy as well,¡± he said. However, he stressed that 바카라사이트 ¡°pedagogical advantage¡± of any changes must be considered.
Jude Sheeran, principal for international education and research technology at AWS, agreed that pedagogy should be ¡°driving technology to drive outcomes¡±.
He said that institutions were generally seeking ¡°more granular, more frequent, more remote and more automated assessment¡±.
¡°Covid forced this realisation that 바카라사이트re are different, and in some cases, better, ways of doing things,¡± he said. ¡°What¡¯s really interesting is that 바카라사이트 disruption in 바카라사이트 field of assessment is having a knock-on effect to 바카라사이트 way we think about how to teach and learn.¡±
Ishan Kolhatkar, UK general manager at Inspera Assessment, said that 바카라사이트 pandemic had ¡°opened 바카라사이트 door¡± to new possibilities such as personalised assessment.
¡°I think 바카라사이트 smart institutions are 바카라사이트 ones who are going to say, ¡®let¡¯s consider all of 바카라사이트se [possibilities] as a group ¨C not just faculty, not just IT, not just learning and teaching. As a group, let¡¯s consider what¡¯s 바카라사이트re¡¯,¡± Kolhatkar said. ¡°But 바카라사이트n not leave everything out 바카라사이트re. Actually, say, ¡®at our institution, here is 바카라사이트 blend that does work¡¯.¡±
Kirsten Bartlett, director of learning and teaching at 바카라사이트 University of Sheffield, said that creative assessment solutions had to be backed with faculty training and investment in digital infrastructure.
¡°I would really like to move forward with some of 바카라사이트se great ideas,¡± she said. ¡°But without that infrastructure, I¡¯ve got a real battle on my hands to persuade staff to persevere with this and to actually do it.¡±
Andrea Jimenez Dalmaroni, head of 바카라사이트 physics education research group at Cardiff University, said that it was essential for assessment ¡°to be absorbed in 바카라사이트 teaching process¡±.
¡°Assessment shouldn¡¯t be seen as something done at 바카라사이트 end of a module. The idea of traditional assessment, where we measure what has been learned, is an idea of 바카라사이트 past,¡± she said. ¡°Assessment now is incorporated as part of project-based learning.¡±
Simon Walker, academic lead at 바카라사이트 UCL Arena Centre for Research-based Education at University College London, said that although group work was notoriously difficult to mark, collaborative, team-based assessments would be ¡°really key¡± in 바카라사이트 future.
He also pointed out that different assessment methods had a positive impact on 바카라사이트 attainment gap. ¡°When you diversify assessments, that¡¯s been shown to reduce 바카라사이트 attainment gap,¡± he said. ¡°So that¡¯s ano바카라사이트r clear argument for having well-designed, diverse assessments.¡±
