Digital Innovation in Assessment and Feedback

The COVID-19 crisis has changed many practices dramatically, with activities that were unthinkable a year ago, now becoming routine.

The STEM College in collaboration with the ECP Post COVID-19 Restart Initiatives, A Digital Start and A Healthier Start, invite you to their international webinar, ‘Digital Innovation in Assessment and Feedback’.

In universities, this adaptation has vastly accelerated changes in academic practice that were already in motion which, will presumably result in a very different approach to teaching practices in the post-COVID era.

A key area in which such changes are manifested is that of assessment. This event will focus on assessment practices as well as related issues that include feedback, engagement and student well-being.

Keynote speakers

Professor Robyn Slattery is Professor of Immunology at the Alfred Hospital and the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. 

She is also the Director of Education in the Central Clinical School at Monash University and plays a major role in teaching Immunology to Science, Biomedical, and Medical undergraduate and post-graduate students. For her contribution to teaching, Robyn received the Inaugural Teacher

Innovation and Impact Award from the Monash University Office of Learning and Teaching in 2016 and in the same year, the Monash Student Association (MSA) Teaching Award for Outstanding Teaching for the Faculty of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences. 

In 2015, Robyn received the Monash Central Clinical School Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Dr Edd Pitt is the Programme Director for the Post Graduate Certificate in Higher Education and Senior Lecturer in Higher Education and Academic Practice at the University of Kent, UK. Edd is also a Visiting Fellow at Deakin University, Australia within the Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE). 

His principle research field is Assessment and Feedback with a particular focus upon staff and student's emotional processing during feedback. In his most recent research he has been collaborating with academics in the UK and Australia to further understand how staff and students develop feedback literacy.

This event will be opened by:

 

Prof Angela Carbone, Associate DVC, Learning, Teaching & Quality, STEM College, RMIT University, followed by a short talk by 

Distinguished Professor Magdalena Plebanski, Director of the Biomedical & Health Innovation Enabling Capability Platform (BHI-ECP), RMIT University.

The Q&A session will be moderated by:

Professor Margaret Jollands, Acting Dean, Learning & Teaching, Engineering & Technology Cluster, STEM, RMIT University. 

Here, you will have the opportunity to share your knowledge, opinions and questions with an expert panel with innovative, successful and novel strategies as well as techniques in assessment and feedback practices.
