The Topic:
The Assessment Research Centre at the University of Melbourne recently finalised a project for the Australian Student Traineeship Foundation looking at Workplace Assessment.

One of the outcomes of that project is the collation and creation of a wealth of material including:

• case studies
• draft assessment 'tools'
• thinking about policy implications of workplace assessment
• guides to assessment issues which teachers and workplace supervisors are confronting in their daily practice

Shelley Gillis will introduce the material, work through the various assessment instruments and discuss common practice.Dr  Jack Keating will reflect on policy issues that have emerged.
