Dr Nicole Sugden, Amita Krautloher, Dr Leigh Grant, Dr Jenni Greig, & Dr Claudia Diaz are celebrating their latest paper, published today in Educational Assessment: Traditional Versus Innovative Assessment: Engaging Learners with E-Portfolios and Interactive Oral Assessments
In an era of generative AI, we are needing to find assessment approaches that are authentic, support student learning and engagement, maintain academic integrity, and also promote inclusion to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed. In this study, the research team evaluated students’ experiences of 2 innovative assessment approaches: Reflective e-portfolios and Interactive Oral Assessments (IOAs). Going one step further, they compared students’ experiences with these innovative assessment approaches against more traditional assessment types (i.e., multiple-choice quizzes and written assessments).
