The Use of Student-Generated Videos and Intercultural Group Assessment to Promote Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in Higher Education

Abstract

Student-generated videos are a new form of assessment that has been increasingly used in higher education to enhance students' engagement and intercultural awareness, especially in business schools. Group diversity in assessment has also emerged recently but has not been widely explored as a means to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in the diverse student cohorts in today's plurilingual higher education institutions. The current study explored students' perceptions of intercultural group assessment and videos as a form of assessment when student-generated videos are used to increase students' other-awareness and intercultural competence in HE and increase their engagement by using a technology-enhanced approach to allow students to develop a range of skills. Students stress the significance of their involvement in problem solving as members of diverse teams so that they learn how to promote EDI in their teams and reflect on how they can resolve tensions. The chapter provides recommendations for further research and highlights implications for theory and practice.
