Diversifying Assessment Forum 2023

New

This annual forum will be of interest to those engaged in activities related to assessment across the collegiate university. It provides a venue to explore opportunities and processes relevant to the current assessment practices, particularly in light of the University's commitments to diversifying assessment and to eliminating awarding gaps experienced by students who are disadvantaged by high-stakes summative exams

The year’s forum will include a panel of speakers on the topic of artificial intelligence and assessment; a workshop exploring the challenges and affordances of assessment practices led by the Technology-Enabled Learning team; reports from the Chairs of the Examination and Assessment Committee (EAC) and the Academic Standards and Enhancement Committee (ASEC); and discussion about ‘coursework’ as authentic and discipline-specific examples of diversified assessment. Further details, including the full programme of speakers, will be posted on the CCTL website in due course.

The forum will be chaired by Professor Bhaskar Vira, the Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education and Chair of the Examination & Assessment Committee.

The event will be of particular interest to staff involved in assessment or examination practices or processes at Cambridge. For more information, please visit the Cambridge Centre for Teaching & Learning website.

The event will be in-person at the Student Services Centre (Exam Halls).
