Towards A Paradigm Shift for A New Model of Alternative Assessment

Background

To initiate discussion on a paradigm shift to a new assessment model, The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) and Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) are conceiving a project to try out some innovative assessment approaches in the coming academic year.

We hope that this project will be an active response to a learning environment where assessment is not only confined by subject domain knowledge but also its application. In such an environment, students often engage in inquiries into, and problem solving of, discipline-related scenarios. In the process, they put their subject domain knowledge to test, and develop generic competencies.

This website serves as a hub of project resources and latest news.

What's new?

The upcoming sharing session will be held on 19 April which covers adopting authentic assessment in real/virtual World. The first segment highlights the benefits of metaverse-enabled immersive environments (MeILE) in revolutionizing assessments for STEM education. The second segment delves into the design of authentic assessments in business ethics education that calls for students to confront real-world ethical problems in business contexts.
