What are the emerging assessment trends of today that will profoundly affect tomorrow's practice? As part of the 2024 International Conference on Assessing Quality in Higher Education, Busby and Fulcher moderated as three panelists discussed the future from their vantage points. Topics included the role of accreditation in advancing assessment efforts, how program theory and implementation fidelity can help educators use outcomes evidence for learning improvement, and the roles of students and student voice in purposeful planning and quality discussions in higher education. According to Jankowski, students could shift from being mere subjects of assessment to becoming active cocreators of their educational experiences, fostering a fairer and more inclusive environment. Finney suggests that with intentional program design informed by evidence-based research and faithful implementation, students would experience more effective educational interventions. Chase highlights that these advancements do not need to be isolated grassroots initiatives but rather could be supported by a dynamic accreditation system that encourages and validates innovative practices in higher education.
