This month’s TALOE webinar: “A journey through the assessment and feedback landscape: from principles to effective practice”

The fourth lecture of the TALOE webinar series “Talks on E-assessment and Learning Outcomes” is to be held on 20 May 2015, starting at 11:00AM CEST with the title of “A journey through the assessment and feedback landscape: from principles to effective practice” by Dr. Gill Ferrell, Consultant at Aspire and Board Director of EUNIS.

She is going to present the outcomes of a 3 year programme of activity to enhance assessment and feedback practice in the UK. The programme involved over 30 universities working directly with around 2,200 staff and more than 6000 students covering all of the main academic disciplines. Dr. Ferrel is going to summarize a landscape review that gave an overview of academic practice and identify the factors that were most effective in delivering real change. She will also highlight the key role that effective feedback plays in assessment for learning. Some freely available tools will also be presented that can be readily applied to help other universities review and enhance their own practice and give an update on ongoing developments and opportunities for European partners to get involved with the activities.
