TU Dublin Authentic Assessment Framework

The Authentic Assessment Framework, a multidimensional scaffold for embedding authenticity in the design of assessments, has been co-created with input from:

  • Participants of our 'Operation Authentic Assessment' Scholars and Supporters Scheme
  • Members of TU Dublin's Authentic Assessment Community of Practice (CoP)
  • The Learning, Teaching and Assessment Team in Academic Affairs
  • Programmes and PSRBs participating in the Prof-Assess Project 

The framework is a work in progress, but you can click on the image below to be taken taken to an interactive graphic explaining each of its four dimensions: Realism, Cognitive Challenge, Critical Reflection, and Feedback Processes.
