Abstract
Outdoor Education courses at La Trobe's Bendigo Campus provide diverse opportunities for students to develop skills to work in the outdoors. One of the final activities that students undertake at the end of their first year Outdoor Education Degree is an 18-day walk in the Australian High country: The Long Walk. Understandably, this is rather a daunting prospect for students, and also for the teachers who have to prepare them for it. The walk is designed as a transition from being a participant to a position of leadership in outdoor education activities; this transition is reflected in the assessment where the use of innovative assessment tools and multimodal feedback systems is designed as a transition from formulaic assessment results to personalised expressions of their own learning.
