University of Kent

Aims

Assessment is a key concern in education, and current literature is packed with information on assessment design, using feedback for learning and challenges in assessing students in the current changing environment of UK higher education.

Support for staff in enhancing or investigating assessment practice at individual and school level takes several forms:

• Provision of resources to support the development of innovative assessment practices
• Support for schools in reviewing assessment. This can take the form of mapping assessment forms across programmes, assisting staff in evaluating assessment enhancements or providing workshops on assessment
• Networking opportunities at Medway and Canterbury to provide opportunities for discussing learning and teaching
