Here are the main slides (lots of them!) which I used in my day with you on assessment. The slides are in a zipped folder in a PowerPoint 2007 file. It was great working with you – keep in touch. Swansea University (12)

Here are the main slides I used in my very short workshops on 18th and 19th January, and separately the full sequence of the slides from the ‘ripples’ model (which has already been downloaded many many times now as you’ll see. LJMU workshops: Phil (10). Ripples model seven factors (12663).
Here also are the slides Sally and I used at our joint keynote session. There are more slides here than we actually used, but we thought you may be interested in the ones we didn’t have time for. LJMU keynote (7)

(From on-time train on way back to Newcastle!). Great working with you all today. Here are the main slides (minus pictures and links) in a PowerPoint 2007 file in a zipped folder. The slides are not all in the same order we used, as I dipped and dived as usual. Mandeville (77).

Here are the main slides I used this morning, in a Powerpoint 2007 file in a zipped folder (minus the pictures and links to keep size down). SHU Feedback (58). All best wishes to all of you for Christmas and 2012.

Here are the main slides I used in my closing session, in a PowerPoint 2007 file in a zipped folder. ICEP Dublin, 16th December (61). You can also download Sally’s slides from the morning keynote on her website at www.sally-brown.net  There are lots of other things to explore on teaching, assessment, feedback and learning on both of our websites.

It’s always a bit hard to run two quite different sessions on the same thing, where quite a few people are present at both sessions. I’ve therefore put today’s slides up as two presentations, which overlap with the key things I mentioned on both sessions, but which include the differences. I’ve removed the pictures and links from each to keep the file size down. I’d love to have had another hour or two to go more deeply into reliability, validity, authenticity and so on – but you can follow that plot from Chapter 5. Here are the presentations: Greenwich afternoon (82), Greenwich evening (71), and you might also find the ‘assessment digest’ in the previous post relevant.

For those of you who’ve heard me talking about assessment and feedback recently (and indeed those who haven’t), this little Word file brings together some of the main sources and thoughts I’ve mentioned. Let me know if it’s useful to you. Assessment Digest 2011 (169)

(From the Northern Hotel, Peterborough, on the way home) Great working with you this morning. Here are the main slides I used, in a PowerPoint 2007 file in a zipped folder, minus the pictures etc. West Suffolk College: 1st December 2011 (46) I’ve not included the ten words – you need to remember these, especially the last one.

Here are the main slides I used in our recent workshop on teamwork, assessing group work and so on. You were an excellent group to work with, many thanks. teamwork etc (61). And here (from Bury St Edmunds) are the main slides I used in the afternoon session UEA formative feedback (59). Thanks for all your contributions throughout the day.

Bruckner’s ’2nd’ is not his best known or most loved. Last night, however, Mario Venzago and the Northern Sinfonia re-invented it to great aclaim. Venzago clearly was ‘living’ the symphony, and the orchestra was unanimous in bringing his realisation to glorious life. Admittedly, it was best to sit there, consciously casting out of mind what Bruckner was later to do in (for example, his 3rd, 4th and 9th) essays into the symphony, and simply focus on what was being created. Sadly, there were numerous empty seats in ‘The Sage’ at Gateshead, even after the first part of the concert when Bradley Creswick produced an impeccable reading of Mozart’s best violin concerto. The untiring Bradley rejoined his colleagues in the Sinfonia to lead this formidable interpretation of Bruckner’s 2nd. The version used was from 2005 and attempts to recreate the original score which was attacked at its premiere by the Vienna Philharmonic, but which was rapturously received – as indeed it was last night. A full and useful programme note by Richard Yates added to one’s appreciation. One of my most enjoyed concerts at the Sage.

Here are the main slides I used with you, both parts of the day combined, in a PowerPoint 2007 file in a zipped folder. Great working with you.  St Mary's 23rd November (66)

Here are the main slides we used in our workshop, in a PowerPoint 2007 file in a zipped folder. In fact, I’ve put more slides in than we used, so you can see the rest of the story underpinning the seven factors. Also, the slides are not in the order in which we used them – just to maintain your concentration levels while you work through them!! You were a lovely group – thanks for all your comments throughout our day together. Smarter Feedback (78)

Here are the main slides we used, in a PowerPoint 2007 file in a zipped folder (minus the pictures and links – the file is big enough already!). YSJ 15 Nov (64) You were a lovely group to work with  – thanks for all the passion and enthusiasm.

Here are the main slides we used in our day together, in a PowerPoint 2007 file in a zipped folder. Great working with you, and thanks for all the ‘matters arising’ which led to really useful discussions. GMIT 8th November (77). And here too are the main slides I used in my two workshops on the 9th November – with a few extra slides added to give you the flavour of things I’d have covered if we’d had a bit more time. Hope to see you again soon, Phil GMIT 9th November (58).

Here are the main slides we used, minus the pictures and links, in a PowerPoint 2007 file in a zipped folder. You were a great group to work with – perhaps I can return to run another day focusing on assessment? moulton (92).

Here are the main slides we used in our workshop, not in the same order, as I ‘dipped and dived’. Great working with you and good luck at getting into print. QUB Getting Published 19.10.2011 (78)

This message was sent by a DVC to all teaching staff…
“Over the past few years we have seen a significant drop in the use of Overhead Projectors (OHPs) and many sit idly in teaching areas gathering dust. We propose to remove all OHPs from teaching areas between June and August 2012. Therefore, by September 2012 all OHPs will have been removed from teaching spaces.
We appreciate that there may be some staff who still utilise OHPs especially for historical materials or items which may no longer be physically available”.
Anyone wish to contribute to the obituary for OHPs? I’m happy to collate this, if you’d like to email me two or three short, eloquently-phrased eulogising sentences.

Here are the main slides (without the pictures or links) which I used in my afternoon workshop with you. UCND (97). Please raid my website for all sorts of other things about teaching, learning and assessment.

Here are the main slides I used with you in my morning workshop, minus the pictures and links (to keep file size down), in a PowerPoint 2007 file in a zipped folder. It was great working with you, and perhaps I can return some day to address feedback and assessment. Ebsjerg (69). (Sorry I spelled the file name incorrectly!!).

Here are the main slides I used in today’s workshops in Odense. They are in PowerPoint 2007 files in zipped folders. I had to remove the pictures and links to keep the file size small enough to manage. It was great working with you, and I look forward to seeing you again before long.
