Our research
Our underpinning premise is improving learning in higher and professional education. We have three broad and intersecting research themes:
- assessing for learning
- learning in a digital world
- learning through, and for, work.
Our current programs of research are:
- The digital world and its impact on learning and teaching
- Feedback and feedback practices
- Learning in and for the workplace
- Evaluative judgement
- Assessment security and academic integrity
- Inclusion and belonging in a digital world
- Representation in and beyond assessment.
Throughout these programs, we use cross-cutting approaches, including innovative methodological and theoretical approaches and knowledge transition. We collaborate with Deakin faculties and divisions and also work with a range of industry partners and international collaborators.
