A new assessment resource designed for colleagues across ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳ was launched at ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳ Institute of Education last week.

Staff can now access the resource on the Teaching and Learning section of the IOE Staff Intranet which is accessible for all staff (×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳ log in required).

Developed by Dr Mary Richardson and Dr Ruth Dann, the resource, ‘Good Practice in Assessment’, provides a concise overview of issues in assessment practice – from standards setting to providing feedback – as well as an ‘at a glance’ guide to different assessment methods.

Designed to support colleagues involved in the practice and processes of assessment across ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳, it is based on research with staff across the university.

It is offered as an evidence informed resource which will help to support:Ìý

• reflections on current assessment practices
• broadening the ways in which assessment is used in Higher Education
• developing conversations between staff and students about the role, purpose and design of their assessment
• developing assessment as both a measurement tool and way of enhancing teaching and learning.

Staff can use this resource individually, in programme teams and with students to help continually reflect on and improve assessment at ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳.

Professor Anthony Smith, Vice-Provost (Education and Student Affairs), attended the launch. He said:

"Assessment is a core component of the education we offer our students, so we have to get it right. Mary Richardson and Ruth Dann have produced a great resource that will help us all review our current practice and make it better. It is both scholarly and accessible with lots of examples and advice. I encourage all teaching teams to get hold of a copy. "
