Abstrakt: Today’s students need to be prepared for hybrid working to thrive in the contemporary workplace, and traditional assessment methods need modification to remain fit for purpose. Framing this as our point of departure, we propose that synchronous, online presentations offer an authentic assessment method with significant potential for enhancing student employability. Our essay highlights the benefits of the approach for students, lecturers, and employers while acknowledging the challenges that play out through resistance from universities and students. We conclude with a call for empirical research and stakeholder engagement to facilitate the authentic and impactful deployment of synchronous, online presentations.
