Last week our Chief Executive, Jill Duffy, was interviewed on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme. During the interview, Jill discussed #AI, exams and our #StrikingTheBalance report, which provides pragmatic recommendations to improving the 11–16 curriculum and assessment: https://lnkd.in/g2x3qCzu 🔊 "We think there should be a rebalancing. What's happened over the last few years is we've got to the point where we think there are too many exams crammed right at the end of Key Stage 4, and there is an opportunity to rebalance that by looking at assessment across the secondary phase. I think there is scope there for using digital assessments informed by AI." Listen back to Jill's interview from 1:25:20 👇 https://lnkd.in/dQMQuxgk #DigitalLearning #Exams #StrikingTheBalance #BBC
