How Technology is shaping the Future of Assessment: Imagine the Possibilities
Liberty is passionate about the need to rethink the certification industry. In her keynote presentation, Liberty explores the ways in which technology can shape the future of assessment, including the opportunity to think differently about the questions we ask, and how we evaluate them.
Come away from this engaging presentation feeling inspired to challenge the status quo of assessment and leverage the full potential of technology to more accurately measure skills.
‘We need to expand our definition of assessment to one that is a more integrated learning and assessment experience that combines frequent planned low and high stakes assessments that not only evaluate competency but guide learning.’
