JISC and the Regional Support Centres are running a series of five workshops from January to October 2011 exploring how the use of technology in HE and HE in FE, linked to principles of good practice in assessment and feedback, can help promote more effective learning. These workshops, which draw on the work of recent JISC-funded projects as well as related significant developments in the domain of assessment, will have a practical, hands-on flavour with a focus on how to move from current challenges towards sustainable change.
The workshops support the recent JISC publication, Effective Assessment in a Digital Age 2010.
A note on the programme: the programme was changed slightly between the second (Birmingham) and third (Bristol) workshops, and the programme below now represents the later version. Delegates from earlier workshops should still be able to find all the resources they saw on the day.
