Aligning AoL Competencies with Authentic Assessment Practices

Urquhart, Ellis

Authors



Abstract

The session will consider the growing trend in higher education institutions in implementing authentic assessment practices within their taught provision. The session seeks to explore this trend in the context of maturing assurance of learning systems to question whether existing competencies would strategically and operationally fit with such authentic assessment instruments. The discussion will acknowledge the advantages of authentic assessment in a challenging academic integrity landscape alongside the strengths of this approach for implementing durable skills complementary to both direct and indirect AoL measurements. A series of scenarios will be posed where both AoL data and authentic assessment implementation can be used as drivers for continuous development. This provides an opportunity for attendees to reflect on not only their current AoL system but also to question how this would align with a more authentic assessment strategy moving into the future.
