Assessment and Feedback Symposium 2021

The University of Highlands and Islands

<h2>Session Outline</h2>This two-day event will focus on the notion of Sustainable assessment and feedback practices; those which seek to reduce staff and student overload, whilst still offering authentic, meaningful, and engaging experiences for students.Modularisation has undoubtedly led to an increase in assessment-related tasks for both staff and students. However, this increase has not necessarily led to an improvement in student learning, or the student or staff experience: some assessments such as closed book exams promote surface over deep learning, and traditional assessment methods such as essays require a huge amount of staff time in terms of marking and feedback. Sustainable assessment seeks to reduce the volume but increase the impact of assessment and feedback practices.This event will take place online and features a mixture of presentations, hands-on workshops, and question and answer sessions to allow participants to learn about the different aspects of sustainable assessment, and how these can be implemented in the classroom.Sessions include:Programme-focussed assessment: Douglas Barr and Tom McCallum who lead the Applied Software Development degree at UHI will explain their programme focussed approach to assessment and how this has transformed the student experienceQuizathon: A practical workshop in which participants will learn how to use quizzes in Brightspace for formative and summative assessment, including features such as question banks and automatic marking and feedbackNavigating University processes: The Faculty team will host a question and answer session to offer guidance and advice about how to make changes to assessment in line with quality processes
