Proud and excited to share my publication with @LydiaJArnold in @TeachinginHE
We question whether the term 'authentic assessment' has now lost its meaning, and in order to support its aims, ask whether it is time to stop talking about it?

[Teaching in Higher Education (TiHE) @TeachinginHE]

New publication alert! 🚨

Is it time to stop talking about authentic assessment?

Great first day of Lower 6th Progression event. Many thanks to all of today’s speakers including #oldnovaportan @jrcroxford from @HarperAdamsUni who inspired our budding engineers with all the amazing places the profession can take them.

The celebration at the end of a long journey for our 2nd years as they 'sell' their products at a trade show and test day, followed by a BBQ in the sun! A perfect example of #Engineering at @HarperAdamsUni!
A massive thank you to our industry partners who make the day what it is!

[James Croxford @jrcroxford]

Brilliant as ever to be able to chat all things authentic assessment with @LydiaJArnold and @JaneHeadleyTL!

[Lydia Arnold @LydiaJArnold]

A few weeks ago on #LTHEChat I mentioned that @JaneHeadleyTL @jrcroxford & I had held a recorded discussion about our views & personal experiences of authentic assessment. With a nudge from @ProfSallyBrown to release it, it's now available on @NTRepository https://t.co/YHlYn4m7Ez

[James Croxford @jrcroxford]

There's a whole lot more planned for next term, starting on day 2 with boardroom presentations to industry guests... but for now... if anyone needs me, I'll be asleep in the corner! Merry Christmas!

[James Croxford @jrcroxford]

This term at @HarperAdamsUni has been challenging and busy, but we've squeezed in live data logging with @Dewesoft, engine dyno testing, vehicle bush testing, 3D scanning using our @ZEISS_Group scanner, and designed <20g paper straw towers to hold over 7kg!

2/2 It's humbling to know this award came from the students (the people that really matter), and that they appreciate and respect what I do. I don't know who nominated me, or who wrote the quotes in the citation, but thank you, and if you're graduating next week, well done!!

[James Croxford @jrcroxford]

1/2 Honoured to receive @HarperAdamsUni StudentVoice Award for Excellent Teaching.
Moving to a new career, just before the sector got turned on it's head (covid), has been a huge challenge, and at times nearly beat me; but with perseverance and support maybe I'm getting somewhere

[James Croxford @jrcroxford]

Great day at @Plantworx2023 meeting up with partners to discuss the future of #Connected #Autonomous #Plant and possible @HarperAdamsUni research involvement!

@JaneHarperTutor No I wasn't... Thanks Jane!!

[James Croxford @jrcroxford]

Great to be able to talk about what we do at @HarperAdamsUni at the Pedagogy and Practice Teaching and Learning event hosted by the University of Kent last week!! A maxed out event with 1000 guests on Teams!!

Not gonna lie... It is a tad cold this morning...

[James Croxford @jrcroxford]

Great day with 2nd year Engineering students presenting in the @HarperAdamsUni Boardroom - nothing more authentic than the real thing!
And thanks to our industry guests for providing very real feedback on the designs

@jcasperd The post grad building actually shook as it drove through campus 😬
