| Description | This micro-credential supports higher education staff in rethinking assessment as an inclusive, learning-oriented, and feedback-rich pedagogical practice. It moves beyond assessment as measurement, foregrounding assessment as learning, participatory design, and student agency, while addressing the pedagogical and ethical implications of AI-supported assessment. Drawing on research-informed practices and case studies from across the INGENIUM Alliance, the course focuses on assessment literacy, co-creation of criteria and rubrics, multimodal and culturally responsive assessment, sustainable feedback and feed-forward systems, and responsible uses of generative AI. A central component of the micro-credential is practice-based professional learning: participants redesign an assessment element in their own teaching context, implement it, and critically reflect on the process through a small-scale action research report. Peer-coaching and reflective judgment are embedded throughout the course. |
