Rewriting the Rules: Institutional procedural change based on analysis of student feedback
As part of a large JISC-supported institutional project on assessment and feedback, two different types of institutional data were analysed to identify potential changes to assessment procedures and practice. Comments from institutional student survey data were analysed to identify 10,000 comments relating to assessment. Coding of these comments enabled the project team to identify a series of areas for change which were common across the institution, rather than just using the survey data for course-level changes, which had happened in the past. This led to the production of new institutional assessment procedures designed to improve the student experience. Institutional records about assignment types, which had been produced simply to support course validation, were then analysed to discover the ten most common types of assignment in use across the institution. Detailed guidance on implementing the new procedures was then developed for these ten assignment types, which accounted for two-thirds of the total number of assignments being taken by students. The combination of data from different parts of the institution has enabled change to be made and supported in a way novel to the university.

“Hiring decisions have long-term consequences for an organization’s productivity and performance. Therefore, quality—not speed—should be the primary measure of the success of hiring decisions and the underlying hiring process.”
Assessment of student learning must be directly connected to the learning objectives of your course. You should make these connections clear to students in your syllabus.
Determinants of Lecturers Assessment Practice in Higher Education in Somaliaijejournal
This research investigated the determinants of lecturers' assessment practices in higher education institutions in Mogadishu, Somalia. The factors that determined the lecturer’s assessment practice were design, interpretation, application, and administration mechanisms. A quantitative research design was conducted. The questionnaire was used, Cronbach's alpha value is.917. This shows that the scale's internal consistency and reliability for this sample are quite excellent. r =.636, P = 0.000,.05., the findings revealed a significant, favorable, and robust relationship between design and lecturers' assessment practices. Also, the correlation table shows a good connection between assessment, interpretation, application, and lecturers' assessment practice. (Explained) (r =.575, p = 0.000,.05) (R =.516, p =.000, 0.05) there is a strong positive relationship between assessment design, interpretation, and application to lecturers’ assessment practice. I recommend that the administration of public and private higher education institutions focus on in-service training on how to upgrade the skills of lecturers toward assessment practice.
Discuss the needs and importance of evaluation in education.pdfuplevelway
Evaluation in education refers to the systematic process of assessing and appraising educational programs, curriculum, teaching methodologies, student performance, and overall educational effectiveness. The goal of evaluation is to gather information, make informed decisions, and improve the quality of education.
Needs of Evaluation in Education:
Assessment of Learning Outcomes: Evaluation helps assess whether students are meeting the expected learning outcomes. It provides insights into their knowledge, skills, and understanding of the subject matter.
Curriculum Improvement: Evaluation assists in evaluating the effectiveness of the curriculum. It helps identify areas that need improvement or modification to better meet the educational objectives and standards.
Quality Assurance: Evaluation serves as a tool for quality assurance in education. It ensures that educational programs and processes meet established standards and are of a high standard.
Teacher Effectiveness: Evaluating teachers’ performance helps in identifying strengths and areas for improvement. This information is valuable for professional development and enhancing teaching effectiveness.
Feedback for Improvement: Evaluation provides constructive feedback to both educators and students. This feedback is essential for making improvements, refining teaching methods, and enhancing student learning experiences.
Resource Allocation: Through evaluation, educational institutions can assess the efficiency and effectiveness of resource utilization. This helps in making informed decisions regarding resource allocation for improved educational outcomes.
Accreditation and Accountability: Evaluation plays a crucial role in the accreditation process for educational institutions. It ensures that institutions meet certain standards, promoting accountability and transparency.
Policy Development: Evaluation provides data and insights that can inform the development of educational policies at various levels, from the classroom to the national education system.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Assessment at American Public University System
1. Learning Outcomes Assessment Process at the American Public University System The American Public University System is committed to student learning outcomes assessment and its impact on the quality of teaching and learning. Learning outcomes assessment in the American Public University System is based on a process in which faculty and staff have identified student learning outcomes at the institutional, degree program, and course levels. The learning outcomes assessment program produces feedback to academic programs on the performance of its educational processes, thereby allowing each program to continually improve. Continuous assessment activities enables the University System to identify what students are learning and improve on the student learning environment through courses and academic programs. The learning outcomes assessment program at APUS: 1) provides students with useful information about their current knowledge, skills, and abilities; 2) enables the University System to evaluate the effectiveness of its academic programs in terms of achieving the desired learning objectives for its students; and 3) is used for continuous improvement at the institutional, degree program and course level. Guided by the sharing of assessment results to continuously improve student learning, the assessment process is designed to answer a broad question, how well are we accomplishing our mission?
