Hi @qmueducation @QMUniversity @TelQmu @QMU_PALS @QMU_KE @QMUSU Have a look at the LEAD December Newsletter! sway.cloud.microsoft/jFHqEEssmF4lUC…

Come join the #Compassionate #Assessment in HE network for a session with the fabulous @JuusoNieminen How could assessment promote communal values? Thursday 21st Nov 10-11 am GMT. You can book through our #QAA page: qaa.ac.uk/membership/col…

We were delighted to welcome @ClareUytman and @Dr_Sian_Jones to our Scotland Equality Conference this year. Fantastic to see @QMUToyresearch getting more public recognition of their important work👏

Why is it so tricky to design inclusive assessment that considers the diversity of students? Perhaps assessment and inclusion are simply incompatible. My @AheConference keynote exploring the paradox of inclusive assessment has been published! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Teachers will get help to 'rethink' how disability and ableism are discussed in schools, through a course from @QMUniversity tes.com/magazine/news/… @tes @Henry_Hepburn

How is talk about disability changing? And why does it matter? @ClareUytman and I respond:

Delighted to have the conversation about disability and ableism in schools being picked up by @TesScotland today. I’m very proud of the work @Dr_Sian_Jones and I doing with this

The LTA will be welcoming Vikki Hill, Director of Learning Enhancement Academic Development at Queen Margaret University, to present 'Pass/fail grading as compassionate assessment' this afternoon as part of our compassionate pedagogies series!🗣️uhi.ac.uk/en/learning-an… @ThinkUHI

I asked @QMUniversity grad students to draw ‘learning’ in our session on learning outcomes today. Their responses informed our discussion on the importance of designing flexible assessment tasks that allow for personal style and interest. 😊

@aurelmondon @karlpjohnson We wrote a paper recently that might be of interest? journals.gre.ac.uk/index.php/comp…

@karlpjohnson Very interesting! I'd love to hear more about this!

@karlpjohnson Thanks for sharing today Karl! Your experiences and concerns, particularly around 1st year students, echoed so much of what’s informed this research. Hope we can continue this conversation.

Thank you to the amazing Siobhan Mack who shared approaches to #pass #fail assessment for MSc (pre-registration) in Speech and Language Therapy and for all the generous contributions by colleagues 🤣
