Assessment was one of the first Enhancement Themes launched in the autumn of 2003. The Assessment Enhancement Theme focused on two aspects of assessment:

• efficient assessment that does not take up too much time for students or staff.
• effective assessment that produces results that are informative, valid, fair and robust.

We ran a series of assessment workshops designed to reach a broad audience of staff and students, aimed to:

• identify key issues and problems
• share and develop good practice in learning and teaching in higher education at institutional level
• develop strategies to support the enhancement of learning and teaching across the sector.

We published a Theme overview report and two workshops outcome reports.
