“Authentic assessment, requires students to demonstrate what they have learned by completing a task they would face in the professional workplace” – it makes sense to the Australian Technology Network

ATN members (Curtin U, RMIT, Uni SA and UTS) have issued a joint statement committing to authentic assessment as a “core to enabling students to become the work-ready graduates Australia needs.”  Network members will;

* use authentic learning across all of a degree programme

* engage students in creating assessment tasks that are, “plausible, meaningful and relevant”

* provide students with actionable feedback

* embed academic integrity in authentic assessment

* develop all-of-institution authentic assessment policies, practises and culture
