Assessment Practice
[/vcj_heading][vc_column_text]You may be taking time to reflect on the assessment practices within your module or programme and looking for some inspiration from academics who have been developing and implementing successful, innovative and novel approaches to assessment here at Queen’s University. The QUB Assessment Hub is an online bank of Case Studies compiled by the Centre for Educational Development. It focuses on assessment methods and strategies used by staff within Queen’s, as well as those used in other higher education institutions in the UK and around the world.Below is a selection of Case Studies written by QUB academics to give you some ideas of assessment practices that are being successfully implemented locally. Case Studies are listed by category to direct you towards those that may be of interest if you have similar needs within a module or programme that you are involved in. Hopefully, you will find some inspiration and ideas that you can implement over the coming semesters to successfully enhance the assessment approach of your own teaching.
Hopefully these case studies will provide some useful insights and ideas! Please let us know if there are any you found particularly interesting at elearning@qub.ac.uk.
If you have your own example of innovative practice that you would like to share as an Assessment Hub Case Study please use the Case Study Submission Form.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row
