Jayne Holt, Learning Services, Walsall College20/10/2016 Online assessment
The College’s mission statement is: Walsall College is uniquely and proudly vocational. Our greatest passion is unleashing the potential of individuals, communities and businesses; our greatest legacy is the talent of our students: skilled, professional and enterprising.
Assessment information is powerful...
“Feedback is powerful if students know (a) what success looks like, (b) appreciate it is aimed at reducing the gap between where they are and where they need to be, and (c) when it is focused on providing them information about where to next.” (Hattie, 2014 p.67)
