The aim of this suite of events is to focus on key issues facing assessment and feedback in higher education mindful of cognitive and socio-cultural influences and how assessment plays out in different cultural contexts within and across institutions (cultures local and global). The core aim is to share ideas from across different cultural contexts to advance understandings.

Driven by ethics and values relating to the student experience, the Interdisciplinary Network for Research-Informed Assessment Practices (INRAP) is the assessment and feedback community of practice established by the University of Southampton with Advance HE in 2018. The INRAP community is an empirically derived assessment and feedback think-tank. Prioritising the promotion of innovation and excellence, INRAP intends to support best practice and policy development via building a dynamic collaborative community that challenges, critiques and advances knowledge and understandings of assessment and feedback in higher education. As a community we aim to empower practitioners by providing an informative and supportive environment that encourages interdisciplinary work to inform integrated curriculum design. The aims of INRAP and a programme of events for 2022 are outlined below. We hope this forum will be of interest to all those interested and involved in the development of assessment and feedback practices within HE. Links to join the network will be sent out to colleagues in the New Year.

Fwd: Invitation



 

 

Join us for our virtual Book launch

9th December 2021
3-4 pm

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/6021115975?pwd=bGNOM1hKNlo4WE45b0gycjQzS2pCZz09

Join us at the launch of the book: "Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: institutional policies, research and practices in Europe".
Editors: Isabel Huet (Portuguese Open University & CIDTFF, LE@D), Teresa Pessoa and Fátima Sol (University of Coimbra, Portugal).

 

The 'idea' of this book was to move away from sharing experiences related to teaching and learning in higher education in just one or two countries, but instead, to organize a more European view on the policy, research and teaching practices that are shaping the way our students learn, academics teach and do research. We have a total of 16 chapters from academics in Portugal, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and the Czech Republic. The book is organized in four interrelated themes: (1) policy and quality; (2) professionalization of teaching and academic development; (3) research and teaching nexus; and (4) pedagogy and practice.

 

Professor Lesley-Jane Eales-Reynolds will present the book and will deliver a short communication with the title: "Are we brave enough to be excellent teachers in this world of performance indicators?"

 

The book is available in Open Access via the following link:
