List originally created by teacher educators from the UK at HEA workshops in 2012.

1. Theme: Assessment
This is one of 11 lists of themed resources originally created as a result of recommendations by participants at a series of eight HEA workshops held around England in spring/summer 2012. In this sense, they form a record of the views of the particular contributors, and are not intended to be exhaustive, or exclusive.
Lists are in alphabetical order, and enough information is included in the referencing to allow resources to be located readily. If the individual resources are to be used (in course documentation, academic work, etc.), you may need to adapt this to fit your own institutional requirements.
