Скачать или смотреть Right, real, focused: How authentic assessment can function in higher education

Presented by Associate Professor Chris Deneen (University of South Australia)

Assessment is the primary means of determining and supporting student achievement. There are long-standing challenges, however around effective task design, useful feedback, and integrity of student achievement results. New opportunities and challenges have recently emerged due to rapid advancements in artificial intelligence. Higher education needs to hold frank, productive discussions around how to design and implement high-quality assessment that meets the needs of key stakeholders.

Authentic assessment presents a productive way forward. Universities are increasingly framing authentic assessment as a way of addressing both persistent and emerging challenges. But what is authenticity? How do we express it through our assessment task design? What are the broader issues we need to address to assure authenticity, quality, and focus?
In this seminar, Chris Deneen will productively explore authenticity in higher education assessment. We will come to definitional clarity on what constitutes authentic assessment, examine how authentic assessment may address recognised challenges, identify potential hazards, and explore ways to sustain the development of our knowledge beyond this session.
