Assessment is an essential part of education. Robust assessment processes are critical for a rigorous evaluation of the level of student learning. Beyond judgement, the modes of assessment we select will shape not just what, but how students learn. Empowering and engaging learners through assessment design and providing opportunities for dialogic feedback is central to learning and the student experience.
Modes of assessment are evolving: encompassing assessment for, of and as learning, allowing the evaluation of a broader range of professional and subject-specific competencies, providing greater student choice and opportunities for students to showcase their talents.
We can help you:
- Identify Gaps: Pinpoint areas where issues impact assessment, feedback and student success.
- Design Interventions: Implement evidence-based strategies to enhance your assessment and feedback practices.
- Measure Impact: Use metrics to evaluate the success of initiatives, fostering continuous improvement.

The workshops provided us with a range of useful resources, insights into the ways that GAI is used, and the importance of reviewing our assessments in light of GAI developments. We were supported in setting up learning sets and are looking forward to developing a really robust approach to support an increase in the appropriate use of GAI by students and colleagues, in assessment and more broadly."University of East London participant – series of workshops focused on Inclusive, Authentic and Equitable Assessment and Feedback in the era of AI
