Under the theme of Assessment and Inclusivity in the Era of Digital Transformation» our conference will delve into the intricacies of assessment practices across all layers of education, from elementary to higher education, as well as their impact on the professional workplace.
We acknowledge that the evolving field of assessment and evaluation is confronted with various challenges that require our attention and innovative solutions. Challenges within the field of assessment and evaluation are multifaceted. The rapid pace of technological advancements, including the proliferation of artificial intelligence, has prompted the exploration of innovative, alternative and more authentic assessment approaches and the potential for automated feedback and evaluation systems. The emergence of hybrid learning and working environments necessitates the adaptation of assessment methods to accommodate these evolving contexts. Contributions to the conference can explore assessment approaches utilizing technology, adapted to hybrid learning environments, assessment strategies addressing the challenges posed by AI, and programmatic assessment strategies for a comprehensive view of students’ progress.
Furthermore, the relationship between assessment, inclusivity, and the well-being of students has gained prominence, highlighted by a need for fair and equitable evaluation practices that support the development of learners. Contributions to the conference can explore strategies for enhancing inclusivity, such as the implementation of culturally responsive assessment methods and the consideration of diverse learners’ needs.
At this conference, we aspire to foster an inclusive and interdisciplinary platform, inviting submissions of diverse perspectives, innovative methodologies, and novel strategies for assessment and evaluation. We look forward to contributions, stimulating conversations, and the creation of lasting networks that transcend disciplinary boundaries. Together, let us shape the future of assessment practices, guided by technology, AI, and hybrid learning environments, while fostering inclusivity, supporting student well-being, and promoting equitable evaluation approaches.
