The ESCAPE Project
Effecting Sustainable Change in Assessment Practice and Experience
The website will be developed as the project progresses and will post updates and deliverables as they become available.
Project Summary
The ESCAPE project will respond to Institutional and National concerns regarding assessment and feedback. Working with two Schools within the Institution, the project will develop assessment for learning activities to enhance the assessment experience for all learners and staff within the Schools. Building on curriculum development activities within our Blended learning Unit, we will investigate and incorporate ICT to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of assessment practices.
The project will result in transformative change, bringing about knock-on developments of learning and teaching activities, in recognition that learning, teaching and assessment must be aligned. Sustainability will be achieved through a change in assessment and feedback philosophy within the Schools. The project will identify activities and practices that will be transportable to all disciplines.
The project will be a springboard for widespread change in philosophy, strategy, policy and practice across the Institution. The lessons learned and the deliverables from the project will be valuable to the sector as a whole.
