The seminar will provide a frame of reference for the theory and practice of assessment in higher education. Ten principles of effective feedback will be proposed and examples of technology-supported practices outlined. The seminar will draw on the findings of the Re-engineering Assessment Practices (REAP) project, funded by the Scottish Funding Council under its e-Learning Transformation initiative. REAP showed that learning gains could be delivered without increases in staff time.
Professor David Nicol is the Deputy-Director of the Centre for Academic Practice and Learning Enhancement at the University of Strathclyde. He was the Director of the £1m Re-engineering Assessment Practices (REAP) project and is now co-director of a follow-on project entitled Principles in Patterns looking at how to support curriculum redesign at the task, module and programme levels. David's research publications are in the areas of assessment, e-learning developments and change management in HE.
