Frances Edwards – Practitioner Research in Higher Education, 2023
Wikipedia has been viewed as a dubious resource within higher education, and students are often encouraged to avoid its use due to the questionable rigour of its entries. In this study the tables were turned when Wikipedia became the central element in an assessment task. The task experimented with a new approach to summative assessment within a…

David Bell; Vikki O'Neill; Vivienne Crawford – Practitioner Research in Higher Education, 2023
We compared the influence of open-book extended duration versus closed book time-limited format on reliability and validity of written assessments of pharmacology learning outcomes within our medical and dental courses. Our dental cohort undertake a mid-year test (30xfree-response short answer to a question, SAQ) and end-of-year paper (4xSAQ,…

Joy Robbins; Milena Marinkova – Practitioner Research in Higher Education, 2023
While studies have extolled the value of using online rubrics, the benefits have usually been presented in terms of enhancing marking or delivery of teacher feedback. These benefits are welcome, but they nonetheless couch digital as simply an improved way for "old paradigm" transmission approaches to feedback that do little to help…

Thompson, David; Meer, Nicky – Practitioner Research in Higher Education, 2021
Encouraging all students to meaningfully engage with feedback on summative assessments is a vexing challenge for educators (Watling, 2016). Using formative feedback techniques as a formal part of a summative assessment allows for a guaranteed 'feed forward'. Group crits in the form of students and staff viewing their own and others work in an…

Wilder-Davis, Kimberly; Carless, David; Huxham, Mark; McCune, Velda; McLatchie, Joan; Jessop, Tansy; Marzetti, Hazel – Practitioner Research in Higher Education, 2021
Feedback may be considered 'good' according to many of the criteria in the literature whilst still having little or no impact on students' learning in the longer term. Feedback in the context of this paper is defined as the process of learners obtaining information about their work in order to produced improved learning. This comes from tutors,…

McGrath, Mary F.; Scott, Lloyd; Logue, Pauline – Practitioner Research in Higher Education, 2020
The approach to, and the type of, assessment(s) that a Higher Education (HE) programme employs can be key factors in the effectiveness of assessment as a tool of learning. Peer assessment (PA) has the potential to develop the evaluative competence of students in HE. In the Republic of Ireland (RoI) there are three Institutes that each deliver a…
