Co-Create Assessment DocumentationLink opens in a new window
If you are interested in exploring how to incorporate co-creation within your module's assessment programme, Dr Heather Meyer (IATL Director of Studies) shares some reflections on this along with former IATL Co-Creation Officer, Pula Prakash. They reflect on their experiences working together to co-create Assignment Briefs and Interdisciplinary Marking Criteria schemes for two IATL modules 'Forms of Identity' and 'Global Connections'.
Co-creating Assessment documentation is an underexplored, yet important intervention to make assessment more inclusive, more transparent and more accessible to our students. Check this out if you want some ideas.
