How can applied research drive innovation and real change in industry assessment practices? This session explores the transformative impact of two industry collaborations with Learnovate, Ireland’s research centre focused on the Future of Work and Learning.

In the first case study, Adaptemy showcases how Generative AI is being harnessed to create dynamic, authentic learning experiences that scale personalisation while preserving pedagogical intent. The second case study from Hibernia College highlights the development of Assess21C, a research-backed initiative reimagining how educators assess 21st-century skills in real-world learning contexts.

Following the presentations, a panel discussion will unpack lessons learned, barriers faced, and the role of research partnerships in tackling challenges across education and workplace learning and assessment. The session will conclude with an audience Q&A.

Join us to gain insights into how applied research can unlock meaningful innovation in both AI-powered and human-centred learning assessment experiences.
