Wednesday 16 October, 4pm
Webinar information
Join us for this insightful webinar with Sarah Hughes, co-author of The Futures of Assessment. We will look at the methodology and key findings the research, using ‘Futures Thinking’ to uncover what assessment could look like in 2050.
Using a technique called ‘backcasting’ and with the vision of 2050 in mind, researchers worked back to today to describe different phases in the timeline to achieve and shape the preferred future:
• 2025: Research & Awareness
• 2030: Pilot & Development

• 2040: Expansion & Collaboration
• 2045: Integration & Enhancement
In this webinar we will also look at the key drivers for change: AI tutors and personalised learning; augmented, virtual and hybrid technologies; human flourishing and wellbeing; climate change; and assessment organisations.
