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).
Assessment method
Article Review Presentation (using Pinterest and Padlet)
Developed in recognition of the need to function in a highly digitised culture, this assessment focuses on the affordances of social media platforms (specifically Pinterest and Padlet) as pedagogic tools. In groups of 2-3 students review an allocated weekly reading and present their findings to their peers in dedicated tutorial/class time.
Assessment method
Artifact-inspired Writing Task
Informed by a sociomaterial approach to teaching and learning, this technique uses an artifact as a point of inspiration for a short written work (in the case of WRIT7050, this takes the form of a creative fictional short story). Students select (or could be assigned) an object at random, and use this as a stimulus from which to craft a 500 word written piece that engages with an element or theme from the course content; or helps to develop a professional skill (e.g.

Authentic Assessment in Medicine and Public Health
There were three components to this groupwork assessment.
Authentic assessment, Problem based learning
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.
