Active Learning Assignment Using On-line Interactive Simulations
Students are directed to a suitable on-line simulation. For example, we have a range of simulations covering mathematics and physics available on the following page: https://teaching.smp.uq.edu.au/scims/. The task sheet usually describes a set of activities that they should undertake and answer to demonstrate a good level of understanding (a grade up to a level of 5 under the university’s system).

Assemblage-Based Project Report
Developed as a means of teaching the application of disciplinary and other scientific techniques to discipline-specific problems and contexts, this assessment sees students respond to a real or simulated site of artefacts (an assemblage) by performing analysis and producing a written report that conforms to the conventions of the relevant field of study or vocational setting.

Case-based Assessment for Physiotherapy Students
Designed as a sequential case-based online and in-class approach, students are able to scaffold their clinical skills and reasoning through developing and implementing case based assessment and management strategies of simple and complex patients to prepare for their end of semester practical examinations. Students are assigned 6 authentic patient cases within Week 8 of the semester of which will be similar to the cases that students are assigned in their end of semester practical examination.
Authentic assessment
Clinical Project Using Action Learning
Students complete a large clinical service development project in teams of four over a 10 week period using an action learning approach – this is a pass/fail component assessed by their clinical supervisor. During the semester, student teams attend five set meetings at which one student from each team presents an update on their project and facilitates discussion.
