> The SPACE Project based at the University of Plymouth is developing and
> promoting alternative forms of assessment as a way of facilitating a more
> inclusive approach assessment. The Project is made up of a
> consortium of seven
> higher education institutions in the South West including: University of
> Plymouth (co-ordinating partner), University of Bath, Bath Spa University
> College, Dartington College of Arts, Falmouth College of Arts,
> University of
> Gloucester and the College of St Mark and St John. Representation on the
> Project is made up of academic members of staff, disability officers and
> students.
>
> The Project will track the assessment experiences of the same
> cohort of students
> throughout their degree studies. There will be three main student surveys,
> which will be followed up though student focus group meetings and
> individual
> interviews. The Project has interpreted assessment in its widest
> context to
> mean any type of formative or summative testing that students
> experience during
> their degree studies. This includes in-class assessments, coursework and
> examinations.
>
> The Project’s main output will be an Alternative Assessment
> Toolkit. Alternative
> forms of assessment are measured tools, which can be used to assess core
> learning outcomes. Their objective is to minimise the impact of a
> disability on
> a student’s performance at assessment. The Alternative Assessment
> Toolkit being
> developed by the Project will be applicable to the six
> disciplines of Arts,
> Education, Humanities, Human Science, Science and Technology and
> will consist
> of the following components:
>
> • A critical review of alternative assessment methods
>
> • Researched and tested examples of alternative assessment tasks
>
> • Institutional, departmental and individual procedures to
> support the process
> of assessment change
>
> • Evaluation tools to survey students’ experiences of traditional
> assessment
> methods compared with any alternative methods tested. Also staff
> proformas for
> feedback on issues relating to parity of academic standards,
> quality assurance
> and the implications for delivery.
>
> The Project welcomes comments and suggestions from colleagues and can be
> contacted through the Project Co-ordinator, Melanie Parker.
