Join us on narrative journey as we share a transformative four-year experience of applying a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) mindset to assessment design as part of the science/physiology degree at the University of Sydney. We will engage you in a dynamic storytelling experience that describes the break away from the traditional high-stakes end-of-year exams to reimagine assessments that can be authentic, engaging and relevant. By weaving together real-life anecdotes, practical examples, and student testimonies, we will showcase the iterative transformation of the assessments and how these changes fostered motivation, equipped students with practical skills, and prepared them for success in the workplace. This immersive approach aims to leave you inspired to reimagine assessment practices in your own context.
