Including a general review of the HEA "Toolkit" project, the session will focus specifically on academic staff and student perspectives of assessment and investigate an increasing diversity of assessment techniques and their impact on student learning and academic teaching practice.

The session is discursive and collaborative with an emphasis placed on sharing of professional insights.
