- Open-web and AI: the implications for assessment
- The pandemic supercharged the movement of assessment onto digital platforms and into remote open-book, open-web environments. Digital technologies and AI can be seen as both supporting and undermining that endeavour when balancing the boost to pedagogical aims with the ramifications for assessment security.
- This keynote examines what such developments mean for higher education and why academics and institutions must adapt to the new realities and possibilities, instead of being on the back foot and exposing themselves to risk.

- Interventions to develop student feedback literacy
- For learners to make the most of feedback information, they need to have both an understanding of its purpose and a chance to practice their role in the feedback process. One way to address the student role in this process is through feedback literacy: [the] ‘understandings, capacities and dispositions needed to make sense of information and use it to enhance work or learning strategies’ (Carless & Boud, 2018, p. 1316). This panel session explores the interventions that have been used to develop feedback literacy in students, and attendees will emerge with an understanding of how these tactics can be used to improve their own feedback processes.
Panelists:
- Christopher Deneen | Associate Professor & Enterprise Research Fellow in Education Futures, University of South Australia
- Dr Hui-Teng Hoo | Sr Lecturer, Nanyang Business School, Nanyang Technological University of Singapore
- Tegan Miller | PhD Candidate, CRADLE, Deakin University

Featuring first-hand insights from two Gradescope users, University of Sydney and Duke Kunshan University, this showcase presentation addresses the following:
How can Gradescope’s assignment statistics identify gaps in student learning? How can assignment statistics support constructive alignment and show that students have met the learning objectives? How can assignment statistics identify opportunities to enhance learning experience and assessment in the iterative process of learning design? How can Gradescope indicate the robustness of applied rubrics and/or provide opportunities for improvements in rubric design?

It is a comprehensive tool that upholds academic integrity and facilitates meaningful feedback. But how can it help what is perhaps the most challenging aspect of an institutions’ academic integrity approach: detection and investigation?
This session presents on the impact of TFS in supporting institutional policy in academic integrity and offers strategies to support using the tool to investigate student assessment and integrity behaviours.
