National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching & Learning in Higher Education

This discussion paper provides an outline of how stakeholders across the Irish higher education sector were supported to develop a national understanding of assessment and feedback through local and national conversations. Within the context of a national enhancement initiative and utilising a conversational approach, a collective effort was made to provide clarity around concepts related to assessment and feedback in Irish higher education. The approach taken and the perspectives that emerged from these conversations, along with the resulting national understanding, are presented and discussed with reference to related literature.
