Why bother giving focus to powerful assessment?

We know from three decades’ research and experience in post-secondary and higher education that, for the majority of students, assessment drives learning and that much of what students learn comes from what is assessed. We also know that assessment is often poorly managed.

During the workshop we will discuss how higher educators around the world are successfully using the Powerful Assessment section of the FLIPCurric site to ensure that they are ‘assessing less but assessing better’.
