Innovative Assessment in Higher Education

This fully updated new edition contextualises why assessment is still the single most important factor affecting student learning in higher education. With a particular focus on improving and implementing new assessment to enhance learning, it offers brand new chapters on how to maximise learning through the use of technology, social media and online assessment as well as the assessment of employability skills. Aimed at busy academics who want to make a tangible difference to their academic practice and to the student experience, this book offers a critical discourse with practical suggestions to enhance the higher education learning environment.
