摘要:While traditionally the viva voce examination had a central role in
student assessment it fell out of favour as higher education
expanded. This paper describes the development of a digital video
viva examination to promote a more authentic and lower stakes
method of assessment for students in their final under-graduate
module. The paper presents a case study using a module from preregistration
nursing but the approach could be useful for other
practice based and vocational disciplines in the health sciences, social
work and business management and law. The paper describes the
challenges of developing a truly authentic assessment when faced
with academic requirements of the programme. The problems of
video assessment include broadband speeds and file sharing are
discussed. The authors were able to develop a lower stakes assessment
with students on average recording and re-recording their viva
submission 3.41 times and rehearsing it 3.67 times.
