Welcome to the In-depth Pre-Moderation Online Workshop!
Pre-assessment moderation plays a critical role in ensuring that assessment tools are valid, fair, and aligned with intended learning outcomes. This practical workshop is designed for tertiary educators, assessors, moderators, and academic quality staff who are responsible for checking assessments before they are issued to learners.
This workshop is ideal for academic managers, quality coordinators, assessment designers, academic tutors from wānanga, PTEs, ITOs, and polytechnics looking to strengthen their moderation practices.
Participants will explore what effective pre-assessment moderation looks like, why it matters, and how it supports learner success, academic integrity, and organisational credibility. The session will unpack moderation principles, documentation expectations, and culturally responsive practice all within the context of NZ tertiary and vocational education sector.
Whether you're moderating unit standards, internal assessments, or programme-level tasks, this workshop will equip you with clear strategies, practical tools, and confidence to support robust pre-delivery checks.
Led by a moderation specialist with 17+ years in the tertiary sector, the session blends assessment principles, hands-on judgement activities, and reflection on how quality assurance connects to everyday assessor decisions.
