Background
Learning in the workplace is complex (1). Learners must adapt swiftly to the challenging environment, maximize learning opportunities, and seek actionable feedback from various health professionals as they complete their work-based assessments (WBAs).

Summary of work
A collaborative co-design project at The University of Queensland involving diverse fields (Medicine, Veterinary Science, Learning Analytics, eLearning Design) is reimagining WBAs for workplace learning, harnessing expertise from key stakeholders (assessment leaders, clinical staff, and student partners representing urban, rural, and international cohorts). Codesign, from the human-centred design technology space, involves stakeholders having a ‘seat at the table’ so their collective creativity actively guides design decisions (2).
