We also tackled the big questions on Inclusive Assessment in our interactive panel discussion.
The symposium and associated book brought together international authors to examine how diversity and inclusion impact assessment in higher education. The book provides educators with the knowledge and understanding required to transform practices so that they are more equitable and inclusive of diverse learners.
