Mapping and interrogating assessment practices

Abstract

This is a report of a project to map current assessment practices and tasks in CQU’s undergraduate distance and online courses (Phase One); - to conduct a theoretically informed interrogation of those assessment practices and tasks, framed by CQU’s strategic documents and contemporary ‘best practice’ in the assessment of adult learning (Phase Two); - to provide participating academics with a practical and research-informed framework for their subsequent action in evaluating and refining their assessment practices and tasks (Phase Three); - to present a set of recommendations for linking those assessment practices and tasks to ACODE’s national benchmarking project of Australian universities’ distance and electronic learning programs (Phase Four).
