Time to reform assessment for authenticity

Greetings from EduTech Asia in Singapore where a panel is discussing "Panel: Is it time for reform? The bid for authenticity in assessments". With Edwin Lim, Hwa Chong Institution, Yian Hoon Lim, Seng Kang Secondary School, Barbara Tajti, Saint John Mary International School and Kerry Moore, Stonyhurst International School Penang. There are many teachers from international schools in the audience. You may wonder why as a university lecturer I am at a school session. But there is a lot in common between international schools and universities. They have international students and have to cope with international needs. 

The topic of reflection just came up. This is something I teach, mentor and assess students on. I have spent many years being trained on how to do it, but I am still not sure I understand what it is. One thing I would like to explore is how to automate asking the student about the work they submitted: "Here you wrote ... why?".

Problem based learning and design thinking also came up.
