ASSET - Moving Forward Through Feedback
This project will tackle the sector-wide issue of providing timely, quality feedback to students through the development of an interactive resource, "ASSET". ASSET will utilize the principles of social software to facilitate the development of new communities of learning between students and staff, which will support dialogue centred on the fundamental issue of what 'good' feedback/feed-forward actually means to both students and staff. This work aligns with our institution's Learning and Teaching Strategy, which emphasises the importance of actively engaging students with their learning. In addition it complements a number of pedagogic initiatives currently taking place within the University.
