About this workshop
This online workshop explores what good assessment design looks like in practice. Well-designed assessments help learners understand expectations, support assessors to make consistent judgements, and strengthen confidence during moderation.
In this session, we will focus on how to design assessment tasks that are clearly aligned with learning outcomes and supported by effective marking guidance. You’ll explore common assessment design issues identified through moderation and learn practical strategies to improve clarity, alignment, and validity in your assessment tools.
This workshop is suitable for tutors, assessors, programme leaders, academic managers, and quality assurance staff working across tertiary and vocational education working with NZQCF Level 3 programmes and above.
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
Align assessment tasks with learning outcomes
Write clearer assessment instructions
Design assessments that support valid and reliable judgement
Identify common assessment design risks before assessments are issued
Strengthen moderation readiness through better design
Participants will leave with practical ideas and examples that can be applied immediately in their own programmes.
