It is also mandated by official bodies such as QAA in the UK. Many staff in Higher Education are uncertain about how to implement AfL, especially in times of increasingly constrained resources and this vital new guide provides solutions that make best use of assessment as a tool for learning.This book provides an important and accessible blend of practical examples of AFL in a variety of subject areas. The authors present practical, often small-scale and eminently "do-able" ideas that will make its introduction achievable. It provides practical case examples both for new lecturers and more experienced staff who may be interested in embedding AfL principles and practice into their university teaching. AFL approaches go beyond minor adaptations to teaching practice, and signify a shift in the foundations of thinking about assessment. With this in mind there is guidance on the development of effective learning environments and communities through the use of: collaboration and dialogue authentic assessment formative assessment peer and self assessment student development for the long term innovative approaches to effective feedback. It provides helpful, realistic guidance backed up by relevant theory and is written in an accessible, jargon-free style, grounded in practical experience and brought to life via a wide range of illustrative examples and case studies.Assessment for Learning in Higher Education fills a vital gap in assessment literature and as AFL is increasingly on the Higher Education agenda, with the promotion of assessment as a tool for learning, this book will become an essential handbook to guide all academic practitioners"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEducation, Higher$xEvaluation$xMethodology 606 $aUniversities and colleges$xExaminations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xEvaluation$xMethodology. 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xExaminations. 676 $a378.166 700 $aSambell$b Kay.$0850545 701 $aMcDowell$b Liz$0968321 701 $aMontgomery$b Catherine$f1962-$0968322 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465420003321 996 $aAssessment for learning in higher education$92199286 997 $aUNINA
