Enhancing Learning Through Assessment

These case studies are about successful approaches to assessment in enhancing learning, developing the theme of employability of the first title in the series and moving to consider lifelong learning and the development of independent, autonomous and self-empowered learners. For both students and staff, assessment is an important element in higher education. This collection of case studies is written by and for staff, showcasing experiences of learning through assessment in a variety of contexts. The latest title in the 'Enhancing - ' series was commissioned by the Higher Education Academy Hospitality, Leisure, Sport and Tourism (HLST) and Business, Management, Accountancy and Finance (BMAF) Networks. Hosted by Oxford Brookes University, HLST and BMAF are two of the 24 national Subject Centres which support and facilitate the sharing of good practice in enhancing the student learning experience in UK higher education.
