Dr David Nicol Centre for Academic Practice Re-engineering Assessment Practices in Scottish Higher Education

Scottish Funding Council: Invitation £6m for HE/FE – competitive bidding E-learning transformational projects Embedding and substitution New approaches to teaching/ learning Measurable benefits to institution/sector Partnerships with other HEIs/FEIs

Reengineering Assessment Proposal  Assessment and feedback – key drivers of student learning but resource intensive  Educational research – improve quality (lifelong learning) & efficiency  Encompasses a wide range of approaches and technologies - including online-offline integration, administrative support  Disciplinary and institutional context

Reengineering Assessment Proposal  SU: 5 departments – one per faculty – large 1 st year classes (MechEng, Marketing, School of Pharmacy, Psychology, Primary Ed)  Caledonian Business School (faculty) and Glasgow University (classroom technologies)  Curriculum re-engineering – holistic approach

Why selected?  Aligned with institutional strategies  Grounded in sound educational research & a recognised need  Cost-benefit analysis (baseline data)  Readiness of the University of Strathclyde  Wide consultation and commitment by depts/ faculty/ support services

Departmental plans (examples)  Marketing: more effective feedback delivery and peer processes  School of Pharmacy: developing reflection and self-assessment skills supported by e- portfolios.  Psychology: self-testing and dynamic feedback through simulations and use of personal response system in lectures.

Funding  £1m will be awarded across 3 institutions  Led from the University of Strathclyde  28 months (2 academic years)  Departmental/faculty resources, core team in CAP and cross-institutional support (LS, ITS)  Scottish network on e-assessment funded separately by Funding Council (£50k)

Benefits to the University of Strathclyde  Funding to support strategic change  Sharing across departments and faculties  Develop exemplary models of quality enhancement using e-technologies  Enhance reputation as centre of excellence in (e-)learning  Help realise vision as technologically advanced European University
