With a unique focus on the relationship between assessment and
engagement this book explores what works in terms of keeping
students on course to succeed. Against a backdrop of massification
and the associated increase in student diversity there is an
escalating requirement for personalized, technology driven learning
in higher education. In addition, the advent of student fees has
promoted a consumer culture resulting in students having an
increasingly powerful voice in shaping curricula to their own
requirements. How does one engage and retain a group of students of
such diverse culture, ethnicity, ambition and experience? Using
examples from a variety of institutions worldwide this edited
collection provides a well-researched evidence base of current
thinking and developments in assessment practices in higher
education. The chapters discuss: Staff and student views on
assessment Engaging students through assessment feedback Assessment
for learning Assessing for employability Interdisciplinary and
transnational assessment Technology supported assessment for
retention The book draws together a wealth of expertise from a
range of contributors including academic staff, academic
developers, pedagogical researchers, National Teaching Fellows and
Centres for Excellence in Higher Education. Recognising that a
pedagogy which is embedded and taken-for-granted in one context
might be completely novel in another, the authors share best
practice and evaluate evidence of assessment strategies to enable
academic colleagues to make informed decisions about adopting new
and creative approaches to assessment. This interdisciplinary text
will prove an invaluable tool for those working and studying in
higher education.
