Assessment for Learning Principles These principles suggest that good practice in Assessment-for-Learning: 1. Engages students with the assessment criteria 2. Supports personalised learning 3. Ensures feedback leads to improvement 4. Focuses on student development 5. Stimulates dialogue 6. Considers student and staff effort
Guidance and support…. Knowledge exchange Guidance Tool kit
Developing good practice……. Workshops to embed the principles into the assessment process and accessible grading criteria for all students
Electronic Voting Systems To: • Encourage active student participation • Engagethe whole class • Check student knowledge • Give prompt feedback • Give quiet students a voice • Add interest and fun UH bought: • 3845 in 2010-11 • 3500 in 2011-12 • 2975 in 2012-13
Many cogs to the wheel… Learning and Teaching • Workshops • Online resources • ADL+Ts Champions • Promoting pedagogic use • Supporting staff • Communication Logistics (The EVS Life Cycle) • Purchasing • Distribution • Registration • On-going support • Return
Working with students To simulate the experience of using EVS in an assessment in-order to trigger a dialogue about good practice and develop student informed guidance for teachers Participants: 11 students from 7 disciplines (Engineering, Computer Science, Creative Arts, Life Science, Business, Law, Psychology) Two quizzes of similar content and length delivered, one without pre-reading paper and one with. Discussion about the experience of using EVS Recommendations
Future • Procurement window (open now!) • Upgrade summer 2013 • Software/Receivers • Staff support
QuestionMark Perception What is it? Development between IH and LTI Assessment Team User group Student perspective Staff perspective The future
Development between IH and LTI assessment team • IH Helpdesk: • Request for staff access • Request for student participant group • Other aspects • LTI assessment team • Pedagogical aspect of QMP usage • Staff training jointly run by IH and LTI • 20th June 2013 • 17th July 2013
QMP user group • Members: • IH system management • IH Helpdesk • LTI assessment team • Academic staff users • Professional staff users • Educational Technologists • Next meeting September 4th September 2013
Student perspective With QMP I think • It is easy to handle • Neutral • It is difficult to handle
Future • More and more staff have expressed their interest • Two training sessions are fully booked with people on waiting list • Comments: • ‘When it works it’s brilliant’ • ‘There are issues, but it is worth doing it’
Grading Criteria Supporting consistency across the University Based on ‘top level’ principles of good practice Aligned to UH grade descriptors (UPR 14) Exemplar StudyNet amendments Individualised to School/Department needs Ready for 2013/14 academic year
Student Progress Dashboard An IH development which pulls together information about Studynet (module level) engagement and assessment performance data and displays it in a single place within StudyNet. To help students with the self-regulation of their studies. To help staff identify where supportfor individuals or groups of students might be needed LTI’s role – to support further development by facilitating conversations and gathering feedback from staff and students

Informing the development Student input: development meetings, focus groups (25 students; 22 male, 3 female; F/T and P/T; UG and PG), student view pilot (running now, 22 students), feedback meeting in May Staff input: development meetings, pilot of staff view in semester A (Business, Computer Science, Health, Engineering, Education, LMS) School projects (now): Conversations and Dissemination (Business, Health, Education, LMS, Engineering)
Student comments ..wanted to know where they were in relation to others as this would be a motivator to do better (did not feel it would de-motivate them to know they were at the lower end of the league table). ..said the currency/completeness of data is important if dashboard is to be meaningful to them ..wanted re-assurance that their information would only be seen by ‘those needing it’ ..were interested in what else could go in there e.g. book loans, attendance, module pass/fail rates (one-stop shop approach) ..would like a predictor or calculator for working out final classification
Staff input Staff pilot Bristol on Line survey and some follow up interviews School projects
