Assessing Learning in Higher Education addresses what is probably
the most time-consuming part of the work of staff in higher
education, and something to the complexity of which many of the
recent developments in higher education have added. Getting
assessment 'right'- that is, designing and implementing appropriate
models and methods, can determine the future lives and careers of
students. But, as Professor Phil Race comments in his excellent and
thought-provoking foreword, students entering higher education
often have little idea about how exactly assessment will work, and
often find that the process is very different from anything they
have previously encountered. Assessing Learning in Higher Education
contains innovative approaches to assessment drawn from many
different cultures and disciplines. The chapter authors argue the
need for changing assessment and feedback processes so that they
embrace online collaboration and discussion between students as
well as between 'students' and 'faculty'. The chapters demonstrate
that at some points there is a need to be able to measure
individual achievement, and to do this in ways that are valid,
transparent, authentic - and above all fair. Assessment and
feedback processes need to ensure that students are well prepared
for this individual assessment, but also to take account of
collaboration and interaction. The respective chapters of Assessing
Learning in Higher Education all of which are complete in
themselves, but with very useful links to ideas in other chapters,
provide numerous illustrations of how this can be achieved.
