Assessment and Feedback



These are presentations and other resources from the one day conference on Assessment and Feedback jointly organised by JISC CETIS and the Making Assessment Count project, held on 2 February 2011 at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow.

Inadequate feedback on assessment and written work consistently appears as a major issue in the National Student Survey, with students expressing a significant lack of satisfaction with assessment and feedback year after year. Given the fundamental importance of these factors in higher education, addressing these concerns has become a high priority.

This one day event explored innovative uses of technology to enhance feedback on assessment. It covered a range of topics such as electronic and automated feedback, alternatives to the traditional form of written feedback, the student perspective on feedback and examples of good practice emerging from recent JISC projects.

Please consider joining the Making Assessment Count Cloudworks space to keep the discussions from this event going.
