Welcome to this special episode of The Research Files – which is becoming a bit of an annual tradition for us as our regular listeners will know – where we take a look back on last month’s Research Conference and share some of our highlights with you. 

The theme for the 2022 ACER Research Conference was ‘Reimagining assessment’ and, like last year, the sessions and masterclasses were fully online, which meant that outside the renowned experts in the field here in Australia, we were able to hear from leading researchers from the UK, the US and Indonesia. Teacher magazine's Zoe Kaskamanidis and Dominique Russell were there to take it all in across the 4 days of the conference, and we’ve selected some clips to share with you, which I’m sure will prompt some further thinking among yourselves and your colleagues.
