Step into the future of teacher education with this dynamic edition, showcasing Curtin University’s forward-thinking approach to preparing tomorrow’s educators. In an era defined by rapid technological change, Curtin is reimagining how future teachers learn, design, and assess – embedding multimodality, AI fluency, and digital storytelling at the heart of its curriculum.

This session highlights the innovative assessment frameworks that enable Education students to experiment, co-create, and demonstrate mastery in authentic, creative, and practice-aligned ways. From multimodal artefacts to AI-supported learning design, participants will see how Curtin equips pre-service teachers with the digital mindset, pedagogical agility, and creative confidence they need to thrive in contemporary classrooms.

Join us to explore the digital pedagogies shaping the educators of tomorrow.
