Assessment: Assessing Student Learning
Assessment drives student learning. This means that we can design assessments to drive particular desired types of learning e.g. deep learning.
Deep learning involves a critical analysis of ideas, linking them to already known concepts, principles and experiences which leads to personal understanding and long-term retention. And we can use assessment to drive the development of graduate attributes e.g. teamwork, creative thinking, information literacy
