How to use the Assessment Toolkit

The Toolkit can be used in a number of ways:

• If you’re designing a new course, or changing the assessment on an existing course, then you could begin with Selecting assessment methods based on skills, or browse Assessment conditions and Assessment methods for ideas. The Key resources below will also be useful.
• For a better understanding of the breadth of assessment possibilities, you can browse Assessment conditions and Assessment methods to familiarise yourself with the language, key concepts and pedagogies underpinning approaches to assessment.
• To decide how best to mark, and how to communicate attainment levels to both markers and students, use Assessment criteria and Marking and moderation.
• To consider assessment across a whole programme - or how a new or changed course will fit into a programme – see Programme-level assessment environment.
