  7. Summative VS Formative • Question Integrity • Not as serious, not a real assessment • Levels of student feedback • Lecturer feedback

  8. Tweek’s Hybrid • Takes the positives of Summative and Formative assessments • Keep integrity of questions by not giving away answers • Consistent feedback through learning objectives • Linked to course materials to encourage students to learn why they failed, and not learn the answers • Lecturer gets the summative marks for feedback

Other Tweek Modules • Attendance • Allow recording and monitoring of student attendance, with the aim to improve participation, performance and retention. • Coursework • Allow creation, submission and grading of student coursework. • Course Materials • Allow students to access course notes and materials online, with associated learning objectives. • Feedback • Allow feedback via questionnaires, with detailed results and intuitive creation mechanisms.
