Diversifying Assessment Forum 2025 New
This annual event will provide an opportunity for discussion about current practices, processes and opportunities for enhancement of assessment and feedback. A panel of Cambridge staff and students will share their perspectives, and Professor David Carless, internationally recognised expert on feedback, will keynote.
The Forum will be of interest to those engaged in activities related to assessment across the collegiate University. It provides a venue to explore opportunities and processes for enhancing assessment practices, particularly in light of the University's commitments to diversifying assessment and to eliminating awarding gaps experienced by students who are disadvantaged by high-stakes summative exams.
Further details, including the full programme of speakers, are available on the CCTL website.
All university staff and students
