Bridges to the Future: Assessment which Promotes Learning post coronavirus.</b><b></b></p>
<p><b> </b></p>
<p><b>In Spring
2020, just about every university globally was faced with a requirement to move
from a substantial diet of unseen, time-constrained, invigilated exams in
person to methodologies that could be undertaken remotely.</b> <b>HEIs moved at breakneck speed to introduce new
ways of assessing, aiming first and foremost to ensure that no student was
disadvantaged in the current crisis conditions, while at the same time ensuring
quality imperatives were met. </b></p><p><b><br></b></p><p><b>Achieving this target was undertaken
notwithstanding substantial challenges, with HEIs ensuring that the perfect did
not become the enemy of the achievable. </b></p><p><br></p><p>A<b>t

crisis and this presentation is one piece of our work.</b></p>
