Assessment and feedback are central to student learning, yet students often find assessment expectations difficult to interpret and feedback challenging to understand and act upon. Assessment and feedback literacy help students understand what success looks like, engage meaningfully with assessment processes, and use feedback to improve future performance. Research suggests that these capabilities are developed gradually through purposeful learning activities, dialogue and reflection, rather than through feedback comments alone.<\/p>\n

In addition, in order for HE institutions to comply with the Equalities Act 2010, when considering assessment, institutions should design assessments that are both\u202fanticipatory\u202fand\u202finclusive. Inclusive universally-designed assessment processes provide for\u202fall\u202fstudents whilst also meeting the needs of specific groups.<\/span><\/p>\n

This page is designed for staff who design assessments, provide feedback, support learning, or lead enhancement activities within modules and programmes. Whether you are new to teaching or leading assessment enhancement initiatives within your School, this page provides practical approaches that can be adapted to a wide range of disciplines and contexts.<\/p>\n
