Enhancing Assessment Forum

The annual Enhancing Assessment Forum is open to all staff interested in exploring opportunities to adapt, enhance or diversify their current assessment and feedback practices.

Enhancing our current approaches to assessment is essential to ensure that they are fair and inclusive while also maintaining rigorous academic standards. The higher education assessment landscape has undergone substantial transformation: the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital assessment and more recently the advent of genAI has shifted our focus on how and what we assess. By enhancing assessment practices, universities can better support student engagement and academic development while responding proactively to technological change.

Recordings and slides from all previous fora are available on the Resources page (Cambridge login required).
