  3. Rationale for the REAP proposal Assessment – key driver of student learning Assessment is a major cost in HE: economies of scale limited Assessment influences a wide range of organisational, pedagogical and business processes in HE

  4. Partners and roles Strathclyde University: across 5 faculties with large 1st year classes (Mechanical Engineering, Marketing, Pharmacy, Psychology, Primary Education) Glasgow Caledonian Business School (one faculty: Finance, Management, Marketing, HR, ) Glasgow University (developing electronic voting technologies) Allows synergies and comparisons across disciplines /faculty/institution.

  5. Aims of REAP Project Re-engineer assessment practices in 3 HE institutions using supportive technologies. Enhanced approaches - self, peer, tutor, to enhance motivation & learner self-regulation Integrate technologies – online tests, simulations, e-voting, e-portfolios, VLEs, admin systems and online-offline interactions Focus is on large classes - esp.1st year Improve learning quality & show efficiencies Embed new processes in institution
