learning, assessment, reform, innovationAbstract
Interest in learning has grown well beyond class-based interactions between teachers and students. The value of higher learning keeps growing, spurring the need for education innovation and reform. To this end, this paper introduces the ‘smarter learning’ initiative, spotlights reforms required to achieve underpinning ‘next-generation’ forms of assessment, and articulates feasible steps ahead. The argument driving this paper is that learning is becoming more valuable, that improving learning hinges on assessment reform, and that such innovation will yield major productivity advances for higher education and broader communities.
