About the Conference

Share...

with others your experience, expertise and thoughts about the assessment of students.

The focus of the conference is on:

  • using assessment to help students learn

  • practical information which could be applied by other academics to their assessment practices

  • sharing information across the disciplines and among local universities

  • implementing the University of Queensland's new assessment policies

To add focus we have invited two distinguished scholars, both with extensive university teaching experience, to give keynote addresses and to participate in the whole of the conference.

Professor David Boud of the University of Technology, Sydney, is well known for his work on self and peer assessment. He is the co-editor of a highly respected book on problem based learning and has done considerable work in that area. Professor Boud is particularly interested in how people learn through experience.

Professor Royce Sadler of Griffith University has worked and published extensively on the assessment of educational achievement, with a particular focus on criteria and standards. He is currently working on a book on grades and grading policy in higher education, drawing on assessment policies in Australian and overseas universities.

Abstracts will be published on the World Wide Web.
