Faculty Curriculum Redefined Build Phase Workshop Series 2024/25: Developing Student-centred and Inclusive Assessment and Feedback Practice in the Arts and Humanities

Series lead: Dr Eva Sansavior, Academic Development Consultant (Curriculum Redefined).

Assessment and Feedback is a shared strategic priority within the Curriculum Redefined (CR) project and the Schools’ and Faculty of Arts, Humanities & Cultures’ National Student Survey (NSS) response plans.

This workshop series will support colleagues in Faculty programme teams to develop and share arts-and-humanities-relevant approaches to assessment and feedback as part of the build phase of Curriculum Redefined. Participants will have access to a suite of bespoke curriculum development resources and student-facing guides developed by Dr Eva Sansavior.

Series aims:

• Surface and share evidence-led pedagogic practice across disciplines in the arts and humanities.
• Co-create a cross-disciplinary staff-led faculty context for building practice and learning across practice-based and theoretical disciplines.
• Engage staff and students in possibilities for co-creating assessment and feedback.
• Share and co-develop discipline-relevant practice development and SoTL resources.

Workshop 2 – February 13, 1- 3 p.m.

Fairness in assessment and feedback - the arts and humanities context

Fairness is used as a key indicator of student experience of assessment and feedback in the National Student Survey (NSS). How do arts and humanities disciplines understand, define and implement fair assessment and feedback practices? Are there any distinct affordances and challenges that arise in the teaching and learning of these disciplines for which interpretative fluidity, criticality, and creativity serve as defining pedagogic values?

Themes for discussion include:

• Defining and communicating standards in the practice-based and theoretical disciplines
• Co-creating standards with students
• Accounting for GenAI
• Implementing inclusive assessment and feedback practices
• Working with formative feedback, assessment rubrics and exemplars.
