Really enjoyed contributing my views for this 👇We spoke quietly of the uncomfortable truths of assessment that existed pre-pandemic: authenticity and integrity. As our campuses awaken, we revert back to type at our peril. @StirUni @StirUniNews
Is it time to reassess student assessment? Is the traditional exam really obsolete? Seven academics share their thoughts @sbabones, @DrKatyBarnett @Dr_Oli_Jones bit.ly/3BnTdXK

Very happy to have contributed to this - just because the exam halls might be opening, we need to ask ourselves why we were there in the first place. Authentic digital assessments that promote creativity and employability should be the rule, not the exception. #HigherEducation
