In this special episode of Tried and Tested, recorded live in London during the E-Assessment Association Conference, host Isabelle Gonthier sits down with two trailblazers in the UK assessment space: Matt Wingfield, Managing Director of EdTech Horizons, and Tim Burnett, Founder of Education Tech Consulting and the Test Community Network.
Together, they explore the evolving role of AI in assessment, from its cautious early adoption to its growing potential as a driver of innovation. They discuss how regulators are influencing the pace of change, sometimes enabling progress and other times holding it back. The conversation also highlights the urgent need to reimagine assessment design for a tech-integrated world, the opportunities digital tools present for promoting equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and the growing shift from traditional credentials to more flexible micro-credentials and proof-of-skill models.
From the power of formative testing in Welsh schools to global conversations about AI literacy and environmental impacts, this episode explores the challenges and promises of assessment transformation. Whether you're navigating regulation, innovation, or inclusion, this is a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of testing.
