Diversifying Assessment Forum 2021

New

This forum is a venue to further explore opportunities and processes for changing, refining or adapting current assessment practices, particularly in light of the University's commitment to diversifying assessment and to eliminating awarding gaps experienced by students who are disadvantaged by high-stakes summative exams.

The forum will be chaired by Senior Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education Professor Graham Virgo, and Chair of the Examination & Assessment Committee Professor Chris Young.

It will include a reflection on lessons learned from the pandemic's shift to remote and online assessment, and of the changed conditions of assessment we may want to retain. In addition there will be panels of short presentations from a range of disciplines about diverse assessment practices, including innovative approaches to traditional exams.

The event will be of particular interest to staff involved in assessment or examination practices or processes at Cambridge. For more information, please contact Dr Ruth Walker.
