In this study, the impact of Scholars180, an oral presentation assessment tool, has been analyzed and discussed. The results have supported the hypothesis that Scholars180 would help students improve their knowledge of ocular diseases and their confidence in the identification and management of the disease. It is also likely that students would benefit from the peer learning aspect of the assessment. Scholars180’s oral presentation assessment design provided a method to shorten the time required for typical oral presentation assessments whilst simultaneously maintaining the effectiveness of the assessment. Overall, the design of Scholars180 appeared to be in the right direction, but further research should be conducted to strengthen the assessment tool. Through this study, an additional oral presentation assessment and its benefits to students will be added to the existing literature. Additionally, it may also encourage other academics to consider implementing this assessment or aspects of it in their curriculum to enhance both the teaching and learning experience.
