Showcase Events
The Educator Network hosts two Showcase events each year. These events provide an opportunity to share your teaching and learning approaches, excitement/anxieties, successes (or not) and engage with colleagues from across the institution. We endeavor to include the student voice, along with special guests and senior University leaders in these Showcase events.
Next Showcase: 7th November 2025 Online
The Educator Network brings you final showcase for 2025 on 7th November 2025, 9:30am – 2.30pm. This event will be via zoom. This showcase is an opportunity to share your work and learn about current assessment practices across the institution.
Reimagining Assessment: Designing for Learning
There is a clear shift in higher education towards assessment that is more authentic, more connected to real-world complexity, and more meaningful for student learning.
This showcase is an invitation to share your ideas, innovations, and successes. We are seeking contributions that demonstrate how assessment and teaching can be reimagined through approaches that are student-centred, adaptable, and scalable, but also grounded in collaboration and shared purpose. This showcase will celebrate how we can shape assessment practices that not only measure learning but deepen it. Professor Belinda Tynan, Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor will be delivering the keynote address.
