Overview
A programme-focused approach to assessment encourages academic staff and students to experience their programme as a cohesive and coherent whole.
Programme teams need to engage in purposeful conversations about how, why, what, when and who questions related to the assessment of learning across the programme and consider ideas for its enhancement.
You’ll Learn to
- Discuss and investigate Programme Focussed Assessment practices in a subject/ programme.
- Debate different approaches to ‘knowing what’s going on in your programme’, such as assessment mapping, team dialogue, other evidence gathering tools
- Identify appropriate assessment design interventions for subject/ programme.
- Explore leadership of change in Programme Focussed Assessment
