This presentation focusses on key elements for whole-of-program assessment design, seen as a system of assessment, rather than a collection of single assessment tasks. The impact of the extent to which a whole-of-program assessment design is coherent, continuous, comprehensive and purposes-driven will be considered. The implications of design on progression, the "failure to fail" phenomenon, identifying performing/underperforming students, feedback, and defensibility of pass/fail decisions in high-stakes contexts will be discussed.
