Traditional assessment practices are being disrupted by events that are leading to an evolution in how to best assess students in contemporary education. In our opening webinar for 2023, we invited industry guests to discuss authentic assessment in education. This panel discussion touched on areas including:

• Why traditional assessment methods are not necessarily an accurate method of measuring student capability
• Examples of how some students of high intelligence and capacity can be let down by traditional assessment methods
• How current situations affect assessment modes and methods such as:
  • Remote / distance education
  • Advances in AI, such as ChatGPT
  • Employers looking for more reliable assessment of student skills for better application in the workforce
