Reimagining your Assessment for Remote Learners (12 February 2021)

Details

Last Updated: 28 April 2021

This course complements the existing FESS/H2 Learning Reimaging your course – the move to blended learning course which focused primarily on blending the delivery of your course. The main aim of this new course is to get people thinking about their current formative and summative assessment plans and consider ways of conducting the assessment differently.  

The course will include some underpinning principles and theoretical perspectives, quality assurance considerations and a range of case studies from across the FET sector. It will also provide participants with the opportunity to engage with FET colleagues in discussions on a range of assessment related issues. 

This course will be available from the week of the 1 March and comprises a set of pre-recorded resources that participants can engage with in their own time (asynchronous).

An Introductory Guide to Blending a Course: Strategies for Blended Delivery (handbook)

FESS have developed a handbook to support those delivering FET programmes who have been tasked with converting a fully face-to-face course to one with an online/remote element (i.e. the blended element) for learners. Blended learning is a mode of delivery allowing learners to complete their course of study by a combination of in centre face-to-face, work based and online learning. This handbook focuses primarily on the online element of the blended learning activity. 

This resource was developed by FESS working in conjunction with Liz Hogan who is a Blended Learning Expert. FESS would like to acknowledge the valuable contribution provided by Dr. Michael Hallissy, H2 Learning.
