Who should attend?
This introductory, face-to-face Faculty of Medicine workshop is aimed at Imperial College staff who are new to teaching or those who wish to review their existing methods of assessing and providing feedback to learners. The workshop is interactive in nature and will explore how and why assessment and feedback can be used to develop students' learning. It will also provide opportunities for participants to practise the skills needed in facilitating feedback effectively.
This workshop is intended to complement the Introduction to assessment for active learning and an Introduction to embedding feedback literacy. These three assessment-related workshops are meant to be complementary; attending all of them is not compulsory but is worthwhile if you are involved in both formative and summative assessment. A more advanced Focus on programme-level assessment design workshop is also available for staff with responsibilities for entire modules or programmes. NB This workshop has considerable overlap with A practical guide to giving effective feedback; duplicating attendance at these workshops is likely to be unrewarding.
Key areas
- Key principles of assessment
- Guidelines for facilitating effective feedback
- Encouraging student reflection and active engagement with feedback
