This curated collection brings together 21 essential articles, podcasts, reports, and job opportunities spanning the evolving landscape of assessment and education. The collection explores critical developments in AI integration across educational settings, from higher education digital transformation to K-12 implementation challenges. Featured content examines assessment innovation through technology-enhanced platforms, secure AI test development workflows, and the shift towards viewing assessments as starting points for educational improvement rather than mere endpoints. Key themes include workforce development and credentialing, with insights on how AI is reshaping labour markets through the MIT Iceberg Index study, alongside practical developments in nursing education, vocational training platforms, and specialised healthcare certifications. The collection also addresses pressing challenges facing the sector: online assessment integrity, the limitations of learning management systems in detecting AI agents, youth education crises in England, and the optimal timing of student assessments based on circadian rhythms. International policy developments feature prominently, including New Zealand's five-year tertiary education strategy, the UK's move towards fully remote English language testing for immigration, and Europe's transition to digital driving licences by 2030. Thought leadership pieces explore responsible AI implementation, with guidance from industry advisory boards and real-world case studies from organisations navigating the balance between innovation and security. The collection concludes with career opportunities for assessment professionals seeking to shape the future of educational measurement and two spotlights on cutting-edge assessment technology solutions.
