Abstract:
This seminar will explore how we can obtain direct evidence of student learning. However, we need to ensure that as well as “Assessment of Learning” we are using “Assessment for Learning”. Examples will be drawn from The University of Hong Kong In-house paper as well as examples from overseas. Practical ways of enhancing the student assessment experience will be discussed.
