ACC Library Services: The Future of Health Sciences: Teaching & Pedagogy in a Digital-First World

This article reflects on current practices and directions for digital transformation through a framework that supports the strategic responses and structural changes that higher education institutions could implement to enhance digital teaching and learning.

E-assessment typically seeks to improve assessment designs through the use of innovative digital tools. However, the intersections between digital technologies and assessment can be seen as increasingly complex, particularly as the sociotechnical perspectives suggest assessment must be relevant to a digitally-mediated society. This paper presents an organising framework, which articulates this nuanced relationship between the digital and assessment design. It draws together literature from diverse domains, including educational technologies, assessment pedagogies and digital literacies.

The digital revolution has substantially impacted education. The role of the educator is critical in this new model, confirming the necessity to have technical resources and qualified educators to improve students’ competence in order for them to work successfully in the digital economy.
