Progressive Laboratory Report

Joel Louie — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 02:50:14 +0000

Professor Max Massi from Curtin’s School of Molecular and Life Sciences shares his innovative laboratory assessment that replaces the traditional one-time submission of a lab report with a more flexible, industry-aligned approach. The assessment is conducted using Microsoft Excel data pages, providing students with scaffolded guidance on report preparation before the experiment begins. Students can work individually or in groups to prepare an initial draft, which is submitted for detailed feedback from the teaching team. This feedback is then used to prepare and submit a refined, final version of the report. This process empowers students with choice in collaboration and location, while preparing them for professional scientific practice through realistic data manipulation and peer review.

Avatar Simulation with AI Feedback

Joel Louie — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 15:36:03 +0000

AI-powered patient simulators transform physiotherapy education by providing accessible, flexible practice opportunities through interactive verbal role-play scenarios. This assessment model combines artificial intelligence avatars with traditional clinical training, allowing students to develop essential communication and clinical reasoning skills through consistent patient interactions available 24/7. By integrating immediate AI feedback with academic supervision when used in the class setting, this approach offers cost-effective skill development that complements face-to-face patient interaction opportunities in clinical education.
