Even in online exams, text-to-speech software and other assistive technologies are not necessarily compatible with all course materials or assignment file formats.<\/p>\n<p>Just over 7% of university students\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.education.gov.au\/higher-education-statistics\/resources\/2020-section-11-equity-groups\">reported a disability when they enrolled<\/a>\u00a0in 2020.

So essays and take-home assignments that simply ask students to provide chunks of information will no longer work.<\/p>\n<p>Assessments will need to evaluate more sophisticated capabilities, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/as-uni-goes-back-heres-how-teachers-and-students-can-use-chatgpt-to-save-time-and-improve-learning-199884\">critical thinking<\/a>, to prevent cheating and demonstrate students\u2019 learning.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>We also need to do better with feedback<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Feedback is an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/feedbackforlearning.org\/\">incredibly important part of learning<\/a>\u00a0but current assessment approaches obscure helpful feedback to students.<\/p>\n<p>To have the best impact on learning, feedback should not happen at the same time as students get their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/grading-students-may-be-as-easy-as-abc-but-evidence-shows-better-ways-to-improve-learning-179650\">marks or final grade<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it should happen when students need it most: during the semester, so they can use it in subsequent tasks. Comments might be verbal, written or in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/13562517.2018.1471457\">multimedia formats<\/a>, and come from lecturers, tutors,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/02602938.2018.1545896\">peers<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/14703297.2021.2013289\">even industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Many students\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/07294360.2019.1664999\">fail a unit or exam at some point<\/a>\u00a0in their academic career.

But here are three significant changes we should focus on immediately:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. We need to replace regular marks with regular feedback<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rather than final grades for every unit, students should receive regular comments about improving their work.<\/p>\n<p>Then, at the end of their degree, selected assessments or a final project can be used to demonstrate a student\u2019s learning.<\/p>\n<p>Students might also be encouraged to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1080\/14703297.2023.2192513\">portray their achievements<\/a>\u00a0in more contextual and personal ways. They might be able to choose between blog entries or multimedia. Or they might put together a \u201cpersuasive portfolio\u201d, which enables students to construct their own evidence of how they are progressing towards course learning outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Targeting feedback to students\u2019 specific goals is also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/03075079.2021.1894115\">highly motivating and leads to improved performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This will mean society &#8211; including employers &#8211; can be more confident that graduates have developed relevant high-level capabilities, rather than immediately forgetting the contents of an exam once it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n<p>This approach is also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/07294360.2022.2057451\">more inclusive<\/a>. When individual tasks are considered separately, some formats might advantage particular students. But considering a range of tasks allows students to demonstrate their learning in a way that suits them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Students should have choice in assessment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Assessment\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/03075079.2019.1689385\">should promote individuality<\/a>. It should provide choices for students to demonstrate their achievements, to ensure they meet their goals for their future lives.<\/p>\n<p>For example, students studying public health might choose to develop a policy briefing or community education resources on a topic of their choice: both options can demonstrate understanding of a health issue and relevant communication techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Impersonal,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/assessment-design-wont-stop-cheating-but-our-relationships-with-students-might-76394\">cookie-cutter assessments<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 such as a take-home exam or essay \u2013 are vulnerable to cheating. They also won\u2019t teach students how to respond flexibly to evolving work environments.<\/p>\n<p>Offering choice in assessment can also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/13562517.2020.1742680\">reduce anxiety and improve confidence<\/a>\u00a0in study as students are doing tasks that are more meaningful to them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. All assessment should be inclusive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All assessments need to be designed in ways to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4324\/9781003293101\">minimise additional challenges<\/a>\u00a0for students with disabilities or learning differences.
