Description

In this subject, students examine theoretical concepts and practical strategies to support the design of a feedback and assessment strategy within their teaching context to successfully enhance student learning. Beginning with the purpose and types of assessment, students investigate how their current feedback and assessment strategies align with a range of evidence- based principles and consider opportunities for improvement. By applying the elements of an effective feedback and assessment strategy, students are able to articulate the rationale underpinning their design to their students.
