In an era of digital and hybrid learning, educators and learning technologists are increasingly seeking assessment methods that are authentic, inclusive, and rooted in real-world practice. This interactive CPD webinar introduces Professional Discussions (PDs) as a dialogic assessment and reflective practice approach suitable for diverse educational and professional settings, including CMALT portfolios, academic modules, and workplace learning.
Drawing on research and practical examples from higher education, this session introduces a structured PD model that helps learners and professionals articulate their knowledge, reflect on their development, and receive meaningful feedback. Attendees will explore how PDs can improve evidence collection, learner agency, and digital facilitation, supporting both personal growth and assessment integrity.
This is an active presentation: participants will participate in interactive tasks, including a live PD-style reflective activity, collaborative design prompts, and group discussion on applying PD principles within their own contexts (e.g., CMALT claims, teaching portfolios, or module assessments).
Whether you’re a CMALT candidate, learning technologist, academic, or CPD lead, this session provides practical takeaways and a versatile framework for integrating PDs into your practice. You’ll leave with tools, templates, and ideas for embedding dialogic feedback and professional reflection into your own learning and teaching strategies.
