'''Module Description'''

This module focuses on the central role of assessment in influencing how students approach their studies and on how assessment can be structured to encourage and enable students to become critical persons. Participants will critically engage with literature relating to teaching and learning and their own subject-specific discipline to implement improvements to their current teaching and assessment practices. They will also experience assessment approaches ('of', 'for' and 'as' learning) in the on-line and within the class-room contexts.
