  1. Assessment and Feedback Programme (Strand B – Evidence and evaluation) Aim: This project will evaluate two assessment and feedback related innovations currently being used at the University of Glamorgan, aimed at addressing the issue of assessment bunching and the issue of poor feedback to students. The two innovations are: 1) Assessment Diaries and 2) GradeMark • Objectives: • Identify baseline data on the assessment and feedback context before the introduction of the assessment diaries and GradeMark. • Evaluate the impact of Assessment Diaries and GradeMark on the student experience from the student perspective. • Evaluate the perceived benefits of Assessment Diaries and GradeMark on the experience of staff undertaking assessment and feedback. The Evaluation of Assessment Diaries and GradeMark at the University of Glamorgan Assessment Diaries – what it is? • The assessment diary is essentially a simple list of module codes and titles, dates for assessment submission and return. • This information is posted on the institutions VLE, Blackboard. In a parallel process, an electronic task list of all hand-back dates was posted into staff Outlook calendars to alert staff to impending deadlines. • The diary uses an in house web-based front end which is provided within Blackboard. • The diary can be personalised by selecting modules from a drop-down menu, giving students and tutors clear, easily accessible information about when assignments are to be submitted and returned. GradeMark – what it is? GradeMark is an online assessment service developed by Turnitin that is integrated with Blackboard. Within GradeMark digital assessment you are able to add comments & provide feedback; read the Originality report; evaluate the assignment against rubrics; or pre-set QuickMark comments. • The use of GradeMark is more than simply improving the quality of feedback, it is seen as a tool that could significantly improve staffassessment experience by better managing the feedback process and maintaining a meaningful dialogue with students. Deliverables: The main deliverables of this study will be an evaluation in the form of case studies and videos and a written report from staff and students on the experience and perception of assessment diaries and GradeMark Contact email: Karen: kfitzgib@glam.ac.uk and Alice : amlau@glam.ac.uk Project Team: Karen Fitzgibbon, Alice Lau, Cath Jones and Sue Stocking
