Because inclusive assessment is good for everyone, the EPC All in for Engineering Assessment Development Group is delighted to invite Engineering Academics Network members to this two-day workshop, generously hosted by Aberdeen’s Robert Gordon University (RGU).

The workshop will equip academic and professional services staff with the confidence, evidence base and practical tools to design, deliver and defend assessment that is: 

• Authentic – mirrors contemporary professional practice and produces industry-credible work products. 

• Inclusive – anticipates learner diversity, minimises unnecessary stress and reduces reliance on individual adjustments. 

• Efficient – adds genuine learning value without unsustainable cost to staff, students or the institution. 

Outputs will feed directly into an EPC EDI Toolkit, initially based on the neuro-inclusive Maturity Framework which will be launched early in the 2025/6 academic year. We will be creating a reusable take-away pack for academics, course leaders, external examiners, briefing materials for PEIs/PSRB panellists, and a models / checklists for assessment setting. There will be plenty of opportunity to learn, share ideas and have a go.
