The road behind and the journey ahead: CRADLE 10th anniversary celebration

The Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE) celebrates its 10th birthday in 2025. From its modest beginnings with Foundation Director Professor David Boud, CRADLE has grown in reputation and influence as its members have pursued a research agenda encompassing assessing for learning, learning in a digital world, and assessing through and for work. CRADLE is now internationally recognised for its work on feedback for learning, feedback literacies, evaluative judgement, assessment for inclusion, and higher education in a time of generative artificial intelligence.

What is the CRADLE model and how does it seek to influence teaching, learning and assessment in higher education? In what areas is it making a difference?

Join the current CRADLE team - co-directors Prof. David Boud and Prof. Phillip Dawson, Prof. Margaret Bearman, A/Prof. Joanna Tai, Dr Juuso Nieminen, Dr Thomas Corbin, and Dr Jack Walton - for an interactive discussion of CRADLE's successes and what still lies ahead, and celebrate our 10th anniversary with us!

Following the seminar, those attending in person at Deakin Downtown are invited to join us for coffee and cake, and to share memories of CRADLE over our journey.
