Skills Education

So much more than 'PDF-ing' and putting existing content ‘online’!

Building effective digital assessments requires understanding:

• Our learners' characteristics

• Learning outcomes

• Assessment rules and principles

• The technology we want to use, and 

• Assessment types. 

And, it all begins with writing. 

How we conduct assessment and encourage and engage learners in a digital environment is different to how we would approach the same process in a traditional face-to-face environment.

This session looks at:

• Considerations when opting to adapt existing content or create new

• Whether digital assessment can act to 'open up' assessment tasks

• Why understanding the technology to be used is important

• Tips to leverage technology for the benefit of both trainer and students

• Types of feedback that can be used in a digital environment

• Tips for gathering skills performance evidence

• The role of questions in formative and summative assessment

• Facilitating collaboration, sharing resources and peer review in an online assessment environment

• How AI tools can help with feedback, assessment ideas and setting up necessary peripheral requirements to support online learning and assessment
