Beyond the Technology: Rethinking assessment and feedback - providing personalised feedback at scale
In this episode of our rethinking assessment and feedback mini-series, Sarah Knight chats with Danny Liu and Benjamin Miller about how they are adapting their assessment and feedback practices at the University of Sydney.
Danny and Benjamin start by sharing some of the issues and challenges that an institution-wide review into assessment picked up, including assessment weighting, group work and assessment feedback.
They then talk about how the development of the student relationship engagement system (SRES) has helped solve the problem of engaging a large number of students with personalised feedback and personal care.
Finally, they share their tips and advice on the steps UK universities could take to improve their assessment and feedback practices.
