I had the most amazing few days at the AHE Conference. My first time attending. So many exciting ideas, wonderful talks, and such a friendly group. Thank you so much to the organisers and speakers for an absolutely awesome meeting!  #aheconference2022

A huge thank you to all those who made the #aheconference2022 such an inspiration! Presenters, attendees and the hard working organising committee you’ve re-energised the assessment & feedback community.

Back home relaxing after a brilliant #aheconference2022. So many fantastic ideas and innovative practices around assessment and feedback. The challenge, now,  is to change our institutions! #AcademicTwitter

My first #aheconference2022 . I’ve come at assessment from a technology angle but have thoroughly enjoyed hearing more about the pedagogy & research. A huge thanks to the organising team & fellow attendees for being so welcoming. What a great broad church of ideas & inspiration.
