File:Putting Assessment and Feedback at the Centre of Student Learning - A NTU CELT Seminar

Description
The 2013 NTU Annual Learning and Teaching Seminar: from Good to Great! (http://good2great.ntu.edu.sg/) is based on the theme of "Putting Assessment and Feedback at the Centre of Student Learning", and that there is an important relationship between the kind of assessment students are required to undertake and where they direct their attention when learning.

These are some of the questions to be raised at this year's seminar: - What are the different purposes of assessment and their relationship to student learning? - How can we use assessment to develop students' capacities for self-evaluation and improvement? - How can assessment be designed to yield useful feedback? - How does university assessment demonstrate to employers that students have useful knowledge and skills?

Speakers with expertise in student assessment and feedback have been invited from the USA, UK, Australia and Singapore. The workshops will explore ways and means of including assessment and feedback in the learning process.

Who Should Attend? The seminar is aimed at educators and academics from educational institutions. Come join us if you are a: - Professor, Lecturer, Instructor, Educator - Researcher - School Leader, Head of Department, Teacher
