Management of the assessment lifecycle sits at the heart of the education institution, affecting students, academics and professional services staff in equal measure. The external sector environment leaves us grappling with issues day-to-day as well as planning for future assessment needs. Institutions are looking to balance complex dichotomies, including:

• Supporting diversity of practice while streamlining administrative processes 
• Embracing new technologies while maintaining integrity 
• Encouraging innovation while managing standards 

In this session, our panel of assessment experts will explore these themes from the viewpoints of institutions and solution providers, showing that by working collaboratively we can make strides towards a successful assessment future. 

Mel Gomes (30 years business experience across verticals in private and public sector), discusses with a panel how using solid tech commercial principles when working with the market can drive dynamic change in delivering EdTech solutions.

And the Panel will be introduced by Aaron Tyler, Co-founder of PACT.

In our recent eprints repository implementation our aim was to bring our repository into line with our strategic goal to foster LSE open research and upgrade our platform for the 21st Century. Ensuring our technical infrastructure was robust and secure was a key driver, as well as the ability to showcase all of LSE’s research outputs in a modern and user-friendly platform. This case study will explore the project from initiation through to completion and highlight how a close working relationship with Cosector was key to its success. 

With professional learners, micro‑credentials, and new funding models reshaping the market, how are institutions evolving their ecosystems to meet the challenge.

Within this presentation the University of Hertfordshire will share how taking a principled approach to guiding learning, facilitated through our embedded use of Canvas, has improved the student experience particularly in relation to organisation and management of programmes and assessment and feedback. Sharing our journey from 2017 when we partnered with Canvas, and how we’ve used inclusive approaches as well as Canvas analytics and developed programme level landscapes, we’ll outline how we’ve supported students, and staff members.

We will also discuss how through a Canvas optimisation activity, we’ve reflected on our present use of Canvas and identified current developments to re-energise and further enhance our approach to guiding learning.

UK HE sector stakeholders have observed issues and are taking collaborative action to ensure the procurement of accessible digital services, too often services are found to not be accessible after they have been delivered. So what’s going astray in the procurement process?

This  active and collaborative workshop will highlight the current issues with existing practice and to invite contributions from attendees on the design of HE sector solutions to procuring accessible services in the context of Higher Education. 

Supporting students to fulfil their potential is central to the academic mission. Understanding when and how students engage with online learning materials and assessment activities can aid early identification of those at risk of failing to progress, enabling support to be targeted in time to make a difference.

In this session, we will look at how contextualising log and assessment data can provide powerful insights and discuss opportunities and challenges for visualising and following up on stories revealed by learner analytics.
