Jane Collings and Pollyanna Magne (Plymouth University)
Gibbs & Simpson(2005) tell us that assessment is the most critical influence on what and how well students learn, yet NSS scores relating to assessment and feedback consistently give cause for concern (Williams and Kane 2008). This workshop will briefly share some research findings highlighting the mismatch between the aspirations of effective assessment practice and the reality of the assessment experience. Participants will be invited to consider the design of assessment; to what extent their existing assessment is effective; and ideas that might help to improve assessment practice and experience. The workshop aims to provide a shift from notions of providing alternative assessment for students with particular needs, towards an inclusive approach which considers how to support all students towards a successful outcome.
