#101 - Imagine (a world of assessment without tests)

Welcome to this sixth episode of the The Future Tech for Education Series on The Edtech Podcast, supported by Pearson

What's in this episode?

How do we get beyond the tick-box or bubble filling exercise of exams and tests, whilst also measuring 'progress'? We delve into ideas around 'invisible assessment' and question who benefits from ‘traditional’ and re-imagined forms of assessment, including games-based assessment. Can ‘tests’ be fun and should they be? How do we measure collaboration?
