This online course introduces students to a range of contemporary assessment theories and practices to inform assessment design. The focus on assessment includes examination of moderation principles and practices to enable equitable outcomes for all learners.
You’ll learn how moderation works and how it supports fair outcomes for all learners.
You’ll also explore how evaluation can improve programme planning and teaching, and support better learning. As part of the course, you’ll reflect on your own teaching practice and identify ways to develop and improve.
Throughout the course, you’ll see how important strong relationships are in adult teaching and learning.
