Academic integrity and assessment security in online examinations has been a hot topic in the higher education sector recently, and it’s a topic that isn’t always well understood. Education Futures recently invited ProctorU to deliver a webinar for staff to develop an even stronger understanding of OLX practice and protocols at UNE.
Education Futures’ third Roadshow event focused on The Future of Assessment, showcasing initiatives and a draft of the UNE Assessment Framework currently in development. If you weren’t able to attend or would like further information, you can catch up on the recording, collaboration and relevant resources in this post.
Digital assessments like OLX offer some key opportunities for assessment practice that aren’t possible in paper-based examinations, such as the integration of rich media. The DigEd team have recently collaborated to produce an exemplar rich media exam to showcase some of the possibilities.
The Learning Design Team recently presented Automatic extensions: Innovation through integration at the 2022 UNE Learning and Teaching Symposium, showcasing the design and implementation of an innovative tool grounded in integrated ways of working that significantly improves staff workload and student experience.
Special Assessment is one of the important tools that students can use to mitigate the impact of life challenges on their study, and the project underway in Education Futures to redesign and uplift the application process is now supported by HEPPP funding.
