LITE Work in Progress (WiP) seminar: Rethinking university assessment through partnership and Maximising and exploiting assessment criteria through inclusive co-construction’

Samantha Pugh and Kelvin Tapley

The first Work in Progress Seminar of 2017/18 will be given by two LITE Fellows who are working on separate, but related, Higher Education Assessment projects. Both projects have a strong focus on partnership working, and will present an overview of their projects with a view to gain feedback and input from the wider university community.

Samantha’s project – ‘Reimagining University Assessment by Learning from Secondary Education’ (RUALSE). is inspired by the recent A-level reforms that have moved A-levels from modular teaching and assessment to final synoptic exams. This presents a golden opportunity for the University of Leeds to also move away from modular assessment to a more holistic, programme level assessment, by focusing on the capabilities and attributes of graduates, and therefore a programme assessment framework based on programme learning outcomes.

Kelvin’s Project – Maximising and Exploiting Assessment Criteria Through Inclusive Co-construction’ (ME-ACTIC) aims to look at ways for all staff and all students to have a shared understanding of and to be using clear assessment criteria that have been developed through a co-construction model. Additionally, the project will be investigating the benefits of clearly understood criteria being used to enhance learning, via peer and self-reflection/assessment.

Time: 12:30pm

Venue: Edward Boyle library , research room 2
