Most respondents favoured keeping the current name “assessment quality” SIG, though there was debate about whether “quality” narrows focus too much.

Possible alternative names discussed included “assessment in teaching and learning” or “assessment in higher education”. - see short poll: https://padlet.com/tkwanner/herdsa-sig-assessment-quality-meeting-15-aug-2025-bc495v1cgv1i2mhl/wish/YBl3Z2xxBKvNav16
