Workshop Facilitators: Dr Thao Vu and Prof Paul White

This workshop is for educators, course designers and curriculum leaders to reflect on the authenticity of their program’s assessments in the contemporary health education context, explore what is working and what can be renewed, and create a personalised action plan for enhancing assessment authenticity. Participants will be engaged in an active learning experience underpinned by a Discover-Explore-Apply-Reflect (DEAR) instructional model with intersected theory bursts and small group application and reflective activities. Learning occurs in a DEAR active learning environment where participants discover and explore research-based materials, then apply these materials to unpack you own perceptions of assessment authenticity in your contemporary education setting, self-evaluate the degree of authenticity of your assessments, and share your tools, challenges and unique action plan with other educators, course designers and curriculum leaders.
