He has just published three videos on YouTube and I thought I'd post this shout-out to honour that former connection and also to test YouTube embedding on BlogMore.</p>
<p>The first video is entitled <a href="https://youtu.be/AgV_oZ0wx6k" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Designing Effective Assessments in Higher Education. A pragmatic introductory guide</a></p>

<p>The other two videos are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://youtu.be/BE0VSB_S_mk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Learning is cumulative. We can't outsource factual knowledge to AI</a></li>
<li><a href="https://youtu.be/io01tZCKTHI" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Writing MCQs to assess higher order learning</a></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://youtube.com/@newtonsneurosci" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Phil's channel on YouTube</a> is worth a look.</p>2026-06-15T09:48:51+02:00
