Event Details

To learn from and celebrate the excellent work carried out here at the University of Bath, we’re delighted to announce our EduFest 2022 programme. Please join us online on Tuesday 10th May as we host this year’s EduFest and explore this year’s theme of Assessment and Feedback, including a talk from guest speaker, Dr William Houstoun.

About EduFest

In the changing landscape of higher education, increasing attention is being paid to the ways in which individuals and communities cope with change, particularly with regard to how we monitor assessment and feedback. Debates around the purpose and design of assessments are not new, but the last two years have provided an opportunity to move away from traditional models of both assessment and feedback.  Having transitioned swiftly into different forms of online and blended teaching, learning and assessment, we have an opportunity to reflect on how we can take our best practice forward to benefit everyone in our University community. We look forward to the debate and celebrating some of the excellent work carried out at the University in this domain and hearing from some of our TDF project holders, NTFs and other current teaching and learning initiatives.
