Abstract

'Investigating the Scholarship of Assessment & Feedback Practice: getting started and making an impact' by guest speaker, Dr Edd Pitt.

In this talk I will discuss how I and several colleagues in the UK and Australia have investigated the scholarship of assessment & feedback practice. I will sketch out the various areas of academic practice that relate to assessment & feedback and how one can harness the power of their own and their colleague’s experiences. Specifically, I will explore the nexus between practice and scholarship and how this can be utilised to good effect for academic publication. I will highlight methodological challenges and potential quick wins colleagues can utilise to make the progression from practice to publication.
