There is an almost total lack of trust in the VC right now! And as a union member, there are more people joining every day

I had so many neurospicy 🌶️ people come up after my research presentation and my #herdsa2025 keynote - we had such awesome chats - I feel like we need to figure out how to make this a thing 🤔

Congrats to the #herdsa2025 social team for a great conference dinner!

Alex Steel from UNSW encourages a practical yet undervalued reflection for educators:

- Why am I offering this assessment?
- What course learning outcomes does it support?
- What am I hoping they will learn?

I just put a quick poll on my IG at the start of the presentation - students do like humour in the classroom! #herdsa2025

Assoc Prof Amanda White OAM @amandalovestoaudit.bsky.social · Jul 9

Thought I’d share some ways I incorporate humour into my first workshop with 1st yr business students (350 students in the room) through Menti

@drjot.bsky.social - We need to think about #groupwork and the intended outcomes - does it include assessment FOR learning? Or just assessment OF learning in the output?

This slide from @andrewjnorton.bsky.social at his #herdsa2025 keynote shows the tumultuous time for international students and policy - esp as they have become a political football.

Even @andrewjnorton.bsky.social is on a short 1 year contract - hard for ECAs who roll from short contract to contract to feel they can have academic freedom (but Andrew is close enough to retirement to feel secure to speak out on key issues)

👏 @molliedollin.bsky.social with an argument for why we should be interested in policy, in her introduction of @andrewjnorton.bsky.social as the Wednesday keynote at #HERDSA2025

Another terribly angled photo of the stage at HERDSA.

In one session about #GenAI mapping and integration by Mark Ian Jones from #unsw and as part of Q&A - talking how they’ve made assessment related to Process worth 40% of the grade in one subject, up from 10%.

All part of assessing the process of learning.
