New HigherEd Heroes episode
In this episode, Dr Seb Kaempf and Dr Al Stark talk to Dr Karin Sellberg, School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry, who uses the production of short videos – ‘me in a minute’ – as a form of assessment. How does this exercise work and how does it foster student learning?
Assessment examples for the Assessment Ideas Factory
The Assessment Ideas Factory is a searchable database of assessment techniques used at UQ. We are looking to add more examples of Identity Verified Assessment (IVA) and Sequences (connected assessment tasks such as regular quizzes or labs). If you have an example or know of a great assessment task, please email Mair Underwood or Dom McGrath and we will work with the course team to add this case to the database.
