Dear Lucy,
On the question of paced assessments you may be interested in the work of the 'Transforming the Experience of Students through Assessment' (TESTA) project, although this goes well beyond the timing of assessments.

Subject: Course organisation and management evidence
Dear All,
NUS is doing some work on the "Organisation and Management" area of the NSS and I was wondering if anyone else has done work in this area recently.
Having considered the material on the HEA web site, we’d be especially interested in examples of good practice which engage directly with students or other initiatives which seek to address the following elements of course organisation and management:
-timetabling in a way that suits the diverse student body
-making timetables available in advance
-organisation of placements and support whilst on placement
-methods of communicating changes to course schedules/cancellations
-staggering of assessments to spread the work load
-course design and support with module selection
Are you working with these issues?
Or are you using materials relating to these issues?
If so, it would be great if you could point me in the direction of any key resources or share any examples of work going on. Please do get in touch at the email or phone number below.
Best wishes,
Lucy
