Enhancing evaluation for the digital age
Digital assessment uses innovative tools and platforms to evaluate student learning outcomes, going beyond traditional assessment types.
What does Digital Assessment involve?
Digital assessment incorporates a range of methods to evaluate student learning, including online quizzes, interactive assignments, multimedia projects, portfolios, and peer assessments. It promotes inclusivity by allowing multimodal submissions and develops essential future skills. Effective digital assessment ensures fairness, reliability, and security while providing valuable insights for student progress.
Business School
Case study: Three-way assessment choice
The Business School introduced a three-way choice in assessments for a second-year module. Students can submit an essay, create a podcast, or submit and recorded presentation. This approach aligns with our goal of offering student choice and supports diverse learning styles.
Paramedic Science

In the Paramedic Science program, students can opt for either a traditional essay or a professional conversation for their assessment. This authentic assessment approach prepares students for real-world scenarios they will encounter in their careers.
