Southampton and the new website…

February 16, 2010 – 9:30 am

On Wednesday 10th Feb, I attended a Project Assembly at Southampton for thee-Assessment in Higher Education (EASiHE) project. During the day we explored Higher Learning Objectives, and how these can be tested using multiple choice type questions, with the attendees drawing up a list of Do’s and Don’ts, which will be incorporated into a booklet being produced by the project (I’ll let the team know when I receive this!).
We are also re-developing the current ASSET website, adding new sections and content about the progress of the pilots, staff and students thoughts about using video for feedback, and the out puts of the project so far….if you have any ideas/suggestions please let me know!
