Assessment in open, distance, and e-learning
This book showcases how scholarship as part of academics practice can be part of an academic toolkit for change that expands awareness and knowledge of the purposes and effects of the pedagogy of assessment. The case studies-ranging from assessment in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs to assessment design for students whose first language is not English, to the effectiveness of peer learning to support academic integrity and programme-level assessment strategies-are framed by an introduction that explores a communities of practice' approach to the institution-wide improvement of assessment it argues-through a case study from The Open University (OU) - that academics' professional expertise is best deepened through participation in authentic activities of teaching and scholarship. The discussion identifies what is involved in such an approach including the role of an enabling principles-based framework, the constraints on implementation, and the implications for leaders of teaching and learning
