Assessments in testing times

Nothing strikes stress into the heart of students and academics like assessment. The stakes are high, the exertion is intense, and the marking is formidable. This is true at all times, but the challenges become exponential when a global pandemic creates chaos and demands a shift to remote formats.

Student wellbeing, academic integrity, practical tasks, and the mechanics of invigilation are just some of the factors that complicate the delivery of assessment in 2020 and beyond. How are staff and students to navigate this quagmire?

This key question and other assessment-related topics are explored in the next edition of the ANU Lunch Vox – a webinar series that brings together a panel of local voices to dissect and debate the hot topics in teaching and learning.

Join us on Thursday, October 22 at 12:15-1:15pm for Testing Times: Remote Assessment, an honest, constructive conversation about assessment in the days of remote learning.
