8th February 2021
Presented by Ruth Ní Bheoláin (Hibernia College), Fiona O’Riordan (DCU) and Rob Lowney (DCU).
Involving students in the assessment process is good for their agency, engagement, learning and for academic integrity. Some work at DCU recently explored this area in more detail, resulting in a short practical resource for staff and students, underpinned by a literature scoping review. This webinar will introduce DCU’s work in this area, some ideas for engaging students as partners and how technology can support it
