Y1 Feedback
The Y1Feedback project sought to enhance feedback dialogue in first year undergraduate programmes to support student transition by using digital technologies. The aim of the Y1Feedback project was to develop and pilot technology enhanced feedback approaches to facilitate teacher feedback and feed-forward, and peer-feedback specifically aimed at large first year undergraduate classes, to support student transition.
TEAM
The Technology Enhanced Assessment Methods (TEAM) project explored the potential offered by digital technologies to address these concerns. Its primary aim has been to develop a framework for applying the principles of good assessment and feedback to practical assessment, and to facilitate dialogue among stakeholders about what it is we want students to learn in practical classes and how our assessment can facilitate this.
