Interactive Oral Assessments

Tuesday 3 June 2025

Workshop Description: Interactive Oral Assessments (IOAs) provide an alternative secure assessment to traditional examination methods by facilitating authentic, professional conversations that align with disciplinary practice, real-world contexts, and specific learning outcomes. This workshop focuses on the practical applications of IOAs for your teaching context.

We will examine what distinguishes an effective IOA from other oral assessment formats such as vivas or presentations, and investigate how you can evaluate students' learning through structured yet responsive dialogue. The session addresses both unit and program-level outcomes assessment, offering a Lane 1 approach to secured assessment design that maintains academic integrity. This workshop equips coordinators of units of all sizes with practical strategies to implement interactive oral assessments as an effective, secure assessment method within their specific teaching contexts.
