Target Audience: All staff who teach and/or support learning

This is an online workshop.

Whether they meet predominantly online or on-campus, large classes can amplify many of the common challenges we experience in delivering excellent student-focussed assessment and feedback.  

In this STEP workshop, we will explore a number of strategies for assessing and providing feedback to large classes. In the context of assessment, this will include assessment design and – where possible – minimising the assessment burden on staff and students. Strategies for feedback might include the use of technology, opportunities for peer, whole-class and automated feedback, and the use of feedback tools like rubrics and marking guides.  

This will be an active learning opportunity, so please come ready to discuss your own challenges and experiences, and learn from others
