Here are the main slides I used in my workshops on 10th March. There are a few slides in common, but most of the presentations follow the different paths of the respective workshops. Please download the compendium on assessment – and that on feedback – from various parts of my website. I very much enjoyed working with you all. Roehampton feedback (4)  Roehampton assessment (3)

Here are the main slides I used at our workshop on 1st March, in a PowerPoint 2007 file in a zipped folder. I’ve stripped out the pictures to reduce the size of the file, but it’s still big! For those wanting to find out more about ‘inclusive assessment’, please see the chapter on ‘widening participation’ in ‘Making learning happen’ – best in the 2nd edition coming out in May.It was good to work with you all. Middlesex University (62)

This should take you no more than two minutes.

What relative proportions of your time do you spend on
(a) actually teaching students?
(b) marking students’ work and designing feedback for them?
(c) designing assessment and assignments?
(d) preparing teaching sessions and learning materials?

Forget for the moment all the other things you do (research, administration, everything else), and if 100% = the total of the four things above, please use the survey below to enter the respective approximate percentages for the four things. There are no ‘right’ answers. You can, if you wish, let me know comments and reactions in the last question of the survey.

Here are  most of the main slides we used on February 10th. I’ve stripped out the photos to reduce the file size – but we still got through a lot on the day. Great working with you. Loughborough Masterclass (44)

In the UK, and in many other countries, higher education is already being ’squeezed’ and faces the prospect of very significant and ongoing reductions in funding in the next few years. There is, however, a lot we can do to improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in higher education without spending more money or time. We can indeed make the money and time we already have work better for students – and for ourselves.
This half-day interactive presentation aims to help participants to think through ways they can make their teaching, feedback and assessment better-tuned to how students learn. For a draft programme for the half-day session, please download here: Teaching in the recession (148). If you would like me to run this for you, please email me – link at the top left of each page of this site.

I’ve added my 2010 workshops prospectus to the ‘popular downloads’ page – here it is also 2010 Workshops Prospectus (148)

Here are the main slides I used in my workshops on 21st January. There are extra slides – I used some different things, responding to questions and issues from the group in the afternoon.
