Management and Delivery of Assessment and Feedback continued:

As part of the assessment planning & design process all staff will be expected to implement these measures:

Formative assessment

use this as the primary mechanism to evidence student engagement, and monitor progress, knowledge and understanding.

look for opportunities to integrate summative assessments.

Summative assessment

should be available from Awarding Bodies e.g. SQA’s SOLAR and C&Gs Evolve system.

Online assessment

where possible convert paper-based assessments into e-assessments - liaise with the Learning Technologies team for support.

e-assessment

writing new assessments to replace closed book/exam conditions. These may require Awarding Body endorsement/approval.

New assessment

Management and Delivery of Assessment and Feedback continued:

as a course team and advise students to enable them to plan their time & study.

Schedule assessment

early to allow students to work at their own pace.

Release assessment

Integrate assessment

wherever possible to reduce assessment burden and take a holistic approach.

to let students hear a recognised / familiar voice which can help them understand feedback more effectively than just written text.

Record feedback

Auto-marking, self- assessment and peer assessment

10

all courses should make regular and routine use of low-stakes (formative) testing and assessment and maximise opportunities available.

Internal Quality Assurance:

It is vital that teaching teams work effectively with their colleagues from the Quality team to ensure a high-quality and student learning experience that is underpinned by sufficient oversight and scrutiny.

To support this Curriculum teams should...

Schedule remote pre-verification, standardisation and internal verification sessions.

Contact sqaresources@cityofglasgowcollege.ac.uk to request copies of Assessment Support Packs (ASPs).

All college devised instruments of assessment should be internally verified thensent to SQA to be prior verified before use. Contact sqaresources@cityofglasgowcollege.ac.uk to request this.

Electronic Master Folders should be created and stored centrally to ensure content is accessible by relevant teaching teams.

Internal Quality Assurance continued:

Engage Team members in arrangements and be mindful of individual staff needs when planning.

Have regular course and cross-campus team meetings to review student progress.

Work with Students Association to support the class rep system (including peer review).

Schedule remote pre-verification, standardisation and internal verification sessions.

Schedule check points for delivery to review how well the approach is working for staff and students; to review government guidance changes; to review student feedback and make timely adjustments.

This document will be updated regularly. Look out for notifications of this on our twitter account and via your email.
