They move from task to task without a clear sense of progression, rarely carrying feedback forward in meaningful ways. Even when individual tasks are well designed, the overall assessment experience can feel incoherent, particularly when Lane 1 (secure) and Lane 2 (non-secure) assessments are treated as separate design problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Universities across the sector are responding by shifting toward programmatic approaches to assessment, viewing learning as developmental and connected across units and courses. This session introduces a practical, &#8220;programmatic light&#8221; approach suited to Curtin courses. You will explore how to design assessment sequences that build capability over time, strengthen feedback loops, and provide clearer program-level assurance of learning &#8211; while intentionally integrating Lane 1 (secure) and Lane 2 (non-secure) assessment contexts &#8211; without increasing workload or complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Duration:<\/strong> 60 minutes<br><strong>Format: <\/strong>Online (Microsoft Teams)<br><strong>Group size:<\/strong> Open session<br><strong>Facilitator: <\/strong>A\/Prof Anett Nyaradi<br><br>The session is structured around three practical design principles that help move from isolated assessments to coherent learning systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Developmental Progression<\/strong>: explore how assessments can be intentionally sequenced (Introduce &#8211; Develop &#8211; Verify) to build knowledge, skills, and professional capabilities across time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Feedback as a Learning Loop<\/strong>: Consider how feedback can function as a driver of development rather than a one-off comment attached to a grade and how feedback in Lane 2 contexts can prepare students for success in Lane 1 verification tasks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Program-Level Assurance of Learning<\/strong>: test whether your combined Lane 1 and Lane 2 assessment mix genuinely evidences course learning outcomes, and examine the balance between Lane 2 and Lane 1 tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You will leave with a clearer understanding of how to apply programmatic thinking in a manageable way that aligns with Assessment 2030 principles and supports both Lane 1 and Lane 2 assessment contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Book a session <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"forminator-guttenberg\"><div class=\"forminator-ui forminator-custom-form forminator-custom-form-930 forminator-design--default  forminator_ajax\" data-forminator-render=\"0\" data-form=\"forminator-module-930\" data-uid=\"69d48757a49d0\"><br\/><\/div><form\r\n\t\t\t\tid=\"forminator-module-930\"\r\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"forminator-ui forminator-custom-form forminator-custom-form-930 forminator-design--default  forminator_ajax\"\r\n\t\t\t\tmethod=\"post\"\r\n\t\t\t\tdata-forminator-render=\"0\"\r\n\t\t\t\tdata-form-id=\"930\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-color-option=\"theme\" data-design=\"default\" data-grid=\"open\" style=\"display: none;\"\r\n\t\t\t\tdata-uid=\"69d48757a49d0\"\r\n\t\t\t><div role=\"alert\" aria-live=\"polite\" class=\"forminator-response-message forminator-error\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><div class=\"forminator-row\"><div id=\"name-1\" class=\"forminator-field-name forminator-col forminator-col-12 \"><div class=\"forminator-field\"><label for=\"forminator-field-name-1_69d48757a49d0\" id=\"forminator-field-name-1_69d48757a49d0-label\" class=\"forminator-label\">Full Name <span class=\"forminator-required\">*<\/span><\/label><input type=\"text\" name=\"name-1\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"\" id=\"forminator-field-name-1_69d48757a49d0\" class=\"forminator-input forminator-name--field\" aria-required=\"true\" autocomplete=\"name\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"forminator-row\"><div id=\"email-1\" class=\"forminator-field-email forminator-col forminator-col-12 \"><div class=\"forminator-field\"><label for=\"forminator-field-email-1_69d48757a49d0\" id=\"forminator-field-email-1_69d48757a49d0-label\" class=\"forminator-label\">Email Address <span class=\"forminator-required\">*<\/span><\/label><input type=\"email\" name=\"email-1\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"\" id=\"forminator-field-email-1_69d48757a49d0\" class=\"forminator-input forminator-email--field\" data-required=\"true\" aria-required=\"true\" autocomplete=\"email\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"forminator-row\"><div id=\"text-1\" class=\"forminator-field-text forminator-col forminator-col-12 \"><div class=\"forminator-field\"><label for=\"forminator-field-text-1_69d48757a49d0\" id=\"forminator-field-text-1_69d48757a49d0-label\" class=\"forminator-label\">Role at Curtin<\/label><input type=\"text\" name=\"text-1\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"\" id=\"forminator-field-text-1_69d48757a49d0\" class=\"forminator-input forminator-name--field\" data-required=\"\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"forminator-row\"><div id=\"textarea-1\" class=\"forminator-field-textarea forminator-col forminator-col-12 \"><div class=\"forminator-field\"><label for=\"forminator-field-textarea-1_69d48757a49d0\" id=\"forminator-field-textarea-1_69d48757a49d0-label\" class=\"forminator-label\">Programmatic Approaches to Assessment -
