Associate Professor Carol Evans (University of Exeter) - Assessment and Feedback in Higher Education

The funded project is Facilitating transitions to masters-level learning improving formative assessment and feedback processes. My review is based on the systematic analysis of 460 articles on assessment feedback between 2000 -2012 and empirical evidence from my own research on implementing assessment feedback interventions. I will outline the Feedback Landscape conceptual framework that I have developed to explore the identified feedback gap that is discussed within the literature. Notions of sustainable and authentic assessment feedback will be explored along with key features of effective feedback designs and future directions for research. The session is relevant to all lecturers and students interested in developing their assessment feedback practice including feedback-seeking skills and/or interested in undertaking a systematic review. It is of high relevance to any lecturers wishing to engage in collaborative research on enhancing assessment feedback. I will outline key projects that I am developing and would be interested to hear from anyone who would be interested in collaborative cross-disciplinary ventures.
