Conference theme: Engaging students in assessment

The theme of engaging students in assessment is an opportunity to explore assessment in the context of an increased focus on student engagement and recognition of the increasing diversity of student cohorts.

The conference provides participants with the opportunity to explore ways to maximise student engagement through effective assessment policies, procedures and practices. Participants will engage with colleagues across disciplines as well as students and employers.

Topics will include:

• transforming assessment and feedback for student engagement
• cultural and academic diversity: designing assessment to engage all students
• discipline-based practices in engaging students in assessment
• using technology to enhance engagement in assessment.
