This in-person event offers a unique opportunity to connect and explore examples in the innovative environment of MK College. We welcome your proposals to speak or facilitate a session - please volunteer your ideas via this form: https://forms.gle/haHQ8ERYyuRczNfM7 Under the theme we are considering areas such as authentic assessments, practice-based assessment or how assessment is informed by metrics for further and higher education which are linked to employability and employability outcomes.
