BMC2021: Aligning with What's Possible
At this year's conference, our focus is on how to align present assessment realities with future possibilities.
Over the past year and a half, emergency distributed learning arrangements have supercharged digital assessment’s growth, both in the scale of delivery and scope of technology.
However, even with new developments, the pressure of immediate needs has, in many ways, compelled a reliance on familiar assessment approaches for the sake of ease and continuity.
Moving forward, a key challenge for advancing beyond multiple-choice lies in aligning the political and practical demands of existing assessment structures with the new techniques, tools, frameworks, and insights into learning that innovations have made possible.
Presentation recordings will be made available to all conference registrants

How can we move beyond multiple choice to better assess the effectiveness of learning, teaching, and training?
Since then, we have grown into an international community of education and training-industry stakeholders committed to exploring, innovating, and implementing the future of assessment.
