1. Keynote - Making change for good: using assessment and feedback to foster engagement and effective learning.

*Please note that the captions have not been checked yet. The keynote presented by Professor Sally Brown and Professor Kay Sambell. Assessment and feedback have a significant impact on the lives of both students and staff: in this keynote, Professors Sally Brown and Kay Sambell will argue that students who engage in authentic assessment tend to have a greater sense of belonging and commitment than those that use only traditional assessment formats. Universities need to recognise that assessment and feedback processes can have a huge positive or negative impact on students, depending on how they are directed, and that staff engaging in designing and marking assessments need compassionate approaches that don’t result in increased workloads or stress. In this pragmatic session, participants will have opportunities to: Review how authentic assignments can be systematically and efficiently designed to foster student engagement; Examine examples of authentic assessment for a variety of different disciplines; Consider how to redress imbalances between formative and summative assessment; Discuss how changes can be made incrementally to improve the quality of learning opportunities afforded by assessment activities.
