Foundations of Learning and Teaching: Assessment and Feedback (Bendigo)

This module is optional but highly recommended for new teaching or learning support staff who are involved in the assessment of their students and the provision of feedback.

University students are usually highly focused on assessment, and assessment is a key driver for learning. Assessment both measures learning and informs future learning. This module will introduce you to some of the fundamental principles of assessment, including the importance of aligning assessment with the Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) of the subject and course. It focuses on how assessment and feedback can foster learning and enable your students to meet your intentions for them. On completion of this module, you should be able to:

1. recognise the importance of ILOs to the design of assessment
2. align your assessment practices with La Trobe University’s assessment policy and procedures
3. identify well designed rubrics and improve your use of them
4. become familiar with and develop effective strategies for providing feedback for learning
5. embed academic integrity into every aspect of the assessment and feedback process
