This OER was intended as an introduction to assessment for inclusion in higher education. We haven’t covered absolutely everything that exists in the world about assessment design, nor inclusive education. It’s up to you as to where you go next: this might be a sufficient foundation, or you may have particular interests that you’d like to pursue further. Here we have compiled a small selection of curated resources which offer different perspectives and foci as a complement to the OER. You can also access the full CAULLT project report (Harris, et al. 2025).

We recognise also that there are many problems related to inclusive assessment that still require research to address gaps in our collective knowledge and understanding. Hopefully this work has also spurred your interest in this area. Indeed, one of the advantages of open education resources is their ability to be built upon, and we hope that future researchers and practitioners will choose to expand on this OER.

Please share this OER and these resources widely within and beyond your institution!
