From paddock to plenary: Reimagining the WIL assessment of pre-clinical veter...ePortfolios Australia
This presentation will provide an overview of the pilot “reimagining” of the assessment of pre-clinical work-integrated learning placements (extramural studies) at The University of Queensland School of Veterinary Science. The School has piloted a transition from form-based assessment to a three-layered assessment approach, including student self-evaluation of skills, placement reflections and supervisor feedback, all facilitated through the adoption of the University’s ePortfolio system.
From Paddock to Plenary will outline the re-engineering process, including stakeholder management, assessment design, and student platform adoption, and provide a short overview of the obstacles encountered, lessons learned, and opportunities realised over the course of this pilot program.

For many years the measurement of student outcomes has focused solely on grades and test scores. Higher Achievement is looking beyond these outcomes to include skills, attitudes and behaviors. This workshop will share the 360 Data that Higher Achievement collects on the scholars they serve. The workshop will describe how the data is analyzed and how Higher Achievement shares best practices.
The ePortfolio engagement process at the University of Queensland is led by the simple but critical precept of viewing ePortfolio integration firstly from a teaching and learning perspective. Leading with pedagogy will explore the implications of commencing the engagement process with pedagogy to the fore, and the impact that this has on ePortfolio use and uptake across the University. Several program-level ePortfolio case studies will be unpacked to show the process of leading pedagogical change in action, including the modification of existing learning tasks, the adoption of new assessment modalities, and the potential for improved tracking of student progress and achievement.
