‘Ripples’ model of learning
Many visitors to this site will know my model of five factors underpinning successful learning, written up in ‘Making Learning Happen’ in 2005, and in other things I’ve written recently. You may also know that I included ‘teaching’ and ‘assessing’ as extra ‘ripples’. After working with colleagues at Leeds Met (the National Centre for Coaching Excellence’), I now think that ‘teaching/explaining/coaching’ is indeed a fundamental factor involved in deepening students’ learning, and after working with David Boud from Australia, that ‘assessing’ – especially ‘making informed judgements about one’s own learning’ also deserves to be included in the model, not just as ‘an extra’. Therefore the new version of my model discusses seven factors rather than the original five, and is published in the 2nd edition of ‘Making Learning Happen’ (2010). I’ve prepared a new version of my slides for this model, which you can download here. Ripples model seven factors (5691)
Compendium of my writings on assessment
I’m running a lot of workshops on assessment nowadays, and I hope this compendium of extracts from various of my books will be useful to participants and to others. Assessment compendium (3015)
Making learning outcomes work
Here (again) is my little piece on learning outcomes. Thanks to many readers of this site who have given me really useful feedback on it. Making learning outcomes work (2373)
I’ve also now added some bits from various of my books on learning outcomes, including arguments for not using words like ‘understanding’ in them. There is some overlap between the tips from my different books from different publishers. extracts on learning outcomes (1696)
