Enhancing Feedback and Assessment Processes through the use of Technology.
FASTECH is a JISC funded project based at Bath Spa University and the University of Winchester. It is about transformation - of assessment processes on programmes of study, and of how institutions and systems frame student learning.
We'll tell you about the nature of our research on multiple programmes within different disciplines; how, why and what technologies have been used – and to what effect. From these stories, you'll be able to see what we and our students are learning, what can be done to make improvements, and how FASTECH is contributing to changing assessment policy and practice.
