11th Annual Learning, Teaching & Assessment Conference 11 July 2012
We invite proposals from University of Bradford staff for sessions exploring aspects of improving student attainment. Ensuring students achieve potential has always been an important aspect of the learner experience; however, the introduction of Key Information Sets (KIS) from September 2012, the increasing significance of league table results, and the current competitive job market etc, makes a more compelling case for institutions to demonstrate commitment to improving the standard of achievement. We are interested in hearing about the range of approaches and activities you engage in and their impact on student attainment.
12.30 pm to 1.45 pm Friday 10 February 2012 in the LearnHigher Room, 01.58 J B Priestley Library
Carole Binns, School of Social & International Studies, introduces her PhD project which intends to discover if assessment-led design can be effectively used in Higher Education. All welcome to attend. Full details.
