Assessment and Feedback

“It is impossible to overstate the role of effective comments on students’ progress in any discussion of effective teaching and assessment.”

Paul Ramsden (Learning to Teach in Higher Education: 2nd Edition)

LTDU supports Schools in the development of assessment and feedback within their programmes. This includes the use of tools such as Blackboard to develop approaches to computer assisted assessment; CourseGenie as a means of embedding formative assessment within course materials; QuestionMark Perception as a powerful formative but also summative assessment tool; and the exploration of student-centred assessment practices, using discussion boards, blogs and wikis.

This Powerpoint presentation by Colleen Connor, Dean of Learning and Teaching contains succinct examples of good Assignment Feedback principles.
