From Silos to Synergy: Supporting Student Learning Through a Programme Focused Approach to Assessment and Feedback
Programmatic assessment implies that assessment is organised across a programme, rather than for individual courses. This programme structure allows for iterative assessment practices to flourish, and for students to engage with the assessment process more meaningfully. This session will help participants think about how to map their courses programmatically and make meaningful links between courses on a programme.

Programmatic assessment implies that assessment is organised across a programme, rather than for individual courses. This programme structure allows for iterative assessment practices to flourish, and for students to engage with the assessment process more meaningfully. This session will help participants think about how to map their courses programmatically and make meaningful links between courses on a programme. This will cover subject like:
- What is a programme-focused approach?
- Why does siloed assessment hinder student learning?
- Benefits of coherence and continuity in feedback.
