Viewpoints Overview
Viewpoints has a remit to create a series of user-friendly reflective tools (in workshop and online format) to promote and enhance effective curriculum design.
The tools will help staff consider areas such as:-assessment and feedback, -information skills, -student interactions and -creativity and innovation
while considering the learner perspective.

Today’s Workshop
An activity-based workshop that aims to encourage reflection and creativity in Assessment and Feedback practice
Uses large laminated worksheets (with a student timeline) and best practice cards as prompts.
You will work together in groups to plan how to address a chosen/agreed objective(s).

Some Quotes

From external residential facilitator:“Broader range of designs - not just focused on learning objects.”
