Hi Lucy Similar to the TESTA project that Corony mentions, the PASS project (Project Assessment Strategies) is also exploring different types/varieties of programme focused assessments (as opposed to modular). We have a case study on the web site from Peninsula Medical School and are working on case studies from a couple of other institutions where their regulations have been adjusted to give more flexible assessment strategies. The end of year report will give you a flavour of thinking/findings to date. http://www.pass.brad.ac.uk/ Ruth Whitfield Learning Architect - http://www.brad.ac.uk/educational-development/aboutus/team/Full_details_2742 3_en.php Outduction Project Officer - http://www.outduction.ac.uk/ PASS Project Manager - http://www.pass.brad.ac.uk/ Centre for Educational Development, Academic Development Unit, University of Bradford, BRADFORD BD7 1DP Tel: 01274 23 3336 Web: http://www.brad.ac.uk/educational-development/ From: Online forum for SEDA, the Staff & Educational Development Association [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lucy Buchanan-Parker Sent: 22 August 2011 17:32 To: [log in to unmask] 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.
