Engaging Assessment
The Engaging Assessment SIG aims to explore how assessment practices in higher education engage or disengage students and staff.
The SIG focusses on examining broader assessment-related issues, including method, mode, inclusivity, and feedback, on the latest innovations in assessment and feedback, and highlighting examples of good practices within higher education.
The SIG encompasses fostering collaboration and contributions from individuals involved in assessing, giving feedback, being assessed, or receiving feedback.
​
Per annum, the SIG hosts two bespoke webinars on contemporary topics, and collaborates with other SIGs to combine and maximise interests.
