Events

The first in the series of Assessment workshops to introduce the purpose and work of ASKe, an introduction to initiatives to change assessment practice; building community, and working together and sharing dissemination ideas.

This event is being run by ASKe and is supported by the BMAF, HLST, and Economics Subject Centres. Contact: bmaf@brookes.ac.uk. The workshop is for academics interested in improving their assessment and feedback practice. Assessment practices are a key driver of student learning, so it is important that they are effective, and yet it is clear from the literature, the NSS survey and more recently the Burgess Report that this is not the case in most HE contexts. This session will build on the work of ASKe, a Centre for Excellence in assessment, and is based on a theoretical model which we have developed. We will consider practical ways, demonstrated to improve student learning, of engaging students with assessment and feedback. Using practical examples, participants will be encouraged to explore how they might involve students right through the assessment process cycle in their own courses
