Building on the successful SATLE 2020, 2022-23, 2023-24 RAFT (Reimagining Assessment & Feedback Together) 1 & 2 programmes, MTU will adopt a similar approach to enhance the feedback and assessment experience for both staff and students at MTU with a particular focus on the intersection of academic integrity and artificial intelligence in assessment design.
Programme teams, of up to 4 staff ideally representing each year of a specific programme, are invited to collaboratively enhance assessment practices, fostering a culture of academic integrity while exploring innovative solutions and emerging best practices, with a particular focus on the implications of artificial intelligence for assessment design.
Successful applicants will have their assigned teaching load reduced by 1 hour per week for Semester 1 2025/26 in the first instance (once approved by Head of Department/Function). The programme will consist of two phases. Phase 1 will commence in Semester 1 of 2025/26 and, following successful completion of Phase 1, participants will be invited to continue into Phase 2, commencing in Semester 2 of 2025/26. Participants are expected to participate in an online session (1 hour per week) and undertake their own preparation/reflection throughout the programme (1 hour per week).
