Powerful Assessment in Higher Education – Teaching and Learning Event
Friday 15th January (10.00 – 3.30pm), TC007, Francis Close Hall, University of Gloucestershire, Cheltenham
UNU RCE Severn is delighted to be hosting Prof Geoff Scott from University of Western Sydney, as part of an international seminar series for his National Senior Teaching Fellowship, funded by the Australian Office for Learning and Teaching. This project is exploring the outcomes and assessments needed for a transformative 21st century HE experience and creating an online resource of best practices.
The project is identifying approaches to ‘powerful’ assessment that go beyond the reproduction of skills and knowledge, to an integrated assessment of graduates’ personal, interpersonal and cognitive capabilities.
The focus is on three approaches to powerful assessment identified as being of greatest interest to the 2600 Learning and Teaching Leaders who have worked on the Fellowship around the world over the past year:
1. Dilemma-based Assessment
2. Assessment of Inventiveness
3. Assessment of Sustainability Capability
Participants are invited to bring examples to the seminar with a view to these being included in the online resource linked to this international project. Examples of assessments can be:
• Those already in use and highly rated by student feedback – or works ‘in progress’
• Linked to any of the three key project themes – or to more than one theme
• Pitched at programme level outcomes – or with potential to be embedded at that level
