Importance of Assessment and Feedback ‘Assessment is a central feature of teaching and the curriculum. It powerfully frames how students learn and what students achieve. It is one of the most significant influences on students’ experience of higher education and all that they gain from it. The reason for an explicit focus on improving assessment practice is the high impact it has on the quality of the learning.’ Professor David Boud & associates, 2010

The Student Perspective (NSS) -2% change compared to 2009 at Ulster -5% difference from sector-wide results 2010 National Student Survey Results for Assessment and Feedback Comparison of % Agree for A&F questions with Sector Overall Sector Overall 2009 Ulster 2009 Sector Overall 2010 Ulster 2010 A&F overall Prompt feedback Detailed comments about students work Feedback to help students improve

Technology-enhanced A&F ‘It is the learners and teachers who ultimately determine the formative effects of engaging with technologies, but technologies can shape the potential for this to happen.’ Pachler et al (2009), Scoping a vision for formative assessment, project report for JISC ‘As technology continues to develop in all spheres of life, this not only increases potential use within the lecture room and beyond – but also our expectations that this will happen.’ National Student Forum Annual Report, 2009 ‘I like seeing my feedback online as it keeps it private and allows me to store it for future use without worrying about losing it.’ Foundation degree student, Loughborough College
