Podcasts for Assessment
These podcasts suggest ways to use podcasting to assess academic engagement and reflection at different levels and in different subject areas. The examples below illustrate how we can challenge traditional forms of written assessment and elevate student voices.
Use the tabs below to navigate to the podcast submitted for different assignments at L4, L5 and L6. Some of these pieces were submitted with a range of supporting documentation, including evidence of research and planning. Read the briefs attached for the full assessment requirement.
