Transforming Assessment and Feedback in Higher Education on a wider scale: the challenge of change at institutional level

                                                 

Thursday 30 June 2016 from 09.30 - 16.00, Midland Hotel, Manchester, UK

 

This one-day seminar aims to debate efforts to drive assessment change beyond the individual and course level towards transformation at the institutional, faculty or departmental level.   It is designed to be a very interactive and informative day drawing on and debating multiple examples of assessment change.

 

The programme includes a keynote lecture followed by a range of parallel sessions which will hear and debate a series of 10 minute presentations.  The presentations will be accompanied by written material providing delegates with further details of the initiative.  A pre-lunch session will use our successful ‘nano’ (3 minute) presentation method to introduce delegates to other assessment change projects.  Lunch will provide an opportunity to find out more from these presenters.

 

This seminar event has been designed to enable sharing of research-informed practice, discussion and networking. It is guaranteed that you will come away from this event with lots of knowledge and ideas about developing assessment enhancement beyond the course level, drawing on experiences in 40 higher education institutions.

Keynote speaker - Sue Bloxham: Central challenges in transforming assessment at departmental and institutional level
