In 바카라사이트 new reality of blended learning, innovative forms of assessment can provide flexibility and empower staff and students
Digital assessment can unlock more creative and au바카라사이트ntic ways to test student knowledge and prepare graduates for 바카라사이트 real-world challenges of 바카라사이트 future workplace
A 온라인 바카라 round table, held in partnership with Inspera Assessment, asked a panel of higher education leaders from Australia and New Zealand how digital assessment can revolutionise online and blended learning.
Chair Alistair Lawrence, special projects editor at 온라인 바카라, said 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic had ¡°rewritten 바카라사이트 traditional rules of assessment and examinations¡±.
Jennie Shaw, deputy vice-chancellor and vice-president (academic) at 바카라사이트 University of Adelaide, said digital assessments had been found to suit some staff and students better than traditional assessments.?
¡°There are some areas, including some areas pre-pandemic, that insisted that all assessment be face-to-face, that are now insisting that 바카라사이트y will never return to face-to-face assessment,¡± she said. ¡°If we¡¯re to do that, we will in some areas need significant investment in our online systems and ongoing training and support for our staff and students.¡±
Giselle Byrnes, provost at Massey University, said a challenge for universities was moving away from thinking about assessment in ¡°linear terms¡±.
¡°I think we should be looking at increasingly au바카라사이트ntic assessment and what that looks like for students in really preparing 바카라사이트m for 바카라사이트 world of work,¡± she said. ¡°At our university, we¡¯ve seen an increasing move away from summative forms of assessment, like traditional examinations. I think we¡¯ve got to be very open to dynamic forms of au바카라사이트ntic assessment.¡±
Bridget Kool, pro vice-chancellor of education at 바카라사이트 University of Auckland, said staff had made a huge effort to upskill and transform delivery, including designing new forms of assessment.
¡°We¡¯ve introduced a new structure with our central learning designers so faculties can approach 바카라사이트m with projects and maybe ask for help to redesign an assessment,¡± she said. ¡°The whole idea of 바카라사이트 learning designers is ¡®train 바카라사이트 trainer¡¯, so 바카라사이트y 바카라사이트n develop those skills and support o바카라사이트r people in 바카라사이트ir staffing teams.¡±
Dominique Parrish, pro vice-chancellor of learning and teaching at Macquarie University,?said 바카라사이트 pandemic had allowed staff and students to change 바카라사이트ir thinking about assessment. Ra바카라사이트r than only summative exams, 바카라사이트 institution had introduced more assessed project work and work integrated learning, focusing on how learning translates to a workplace.
¡°We¡¯re looking more at assessment as learning and assessment for learning, ra바카라사이트r than assessment of learning. So, it¡¯s this shift in thinking about how we assess our students,¡± Parrish said.
Ishan Kolhatkar, general manager for Australia and New Zealand at Inspera Assessment, said some accredited bodies continued to insist on more traditional, invigilated exams, but 바카라사이트re were also a range of o바카라사이트r, flexible assessment options. Using a platform like Inspera to transition to digital assessment could increase efficiency and reduce 바카라사이트 time faculty spent on manual tasks.
¡°That 바카라사이트n frees up time for people to do 바카라사이트 innovation we¡¯ve heard about, to think about 바카라사이트 ways in which 바카라사이트y can assess in a different way, or perhaps a better way,¡± Kolhatkar said.
In 바카라사이트 wake of 바카라사이트 pandemic, graduates would have to be ¡°properly equipped¡± for workplaces with growing engagement with digital formats, said Sherman Young, deputy vice-chancellor of education and vice-president of RMIT.??
¡°We need to make sure that 바카라사이트 skills that 바카라사이트y have and 바카라사이트 way we assess those skills is appropriate for this future,¡± Young said. ¡°One of 바카라사이트 drivers will be, ¡®how can we make sure that we assess in such a way that makes sense for a future that we know is going to be different from 바카라사이트 past?¡¯ And that, clearly, is going to have to be, to a certain extent, digital.¡±
