Designing your online assessments

When we decide to move teaching, learning and assessment online it means we must be very precise and focused when setting out assignment briefs and assessment criteria. You can use this BCU guidance with your course team by comparing its suggestions and recommendations to your own policies and practices in this area.

Well-designed assessments are characterised by:

  • Constructive alignment
  • Authenticity
  • Appropriateness
  • Clarity

Minimize the risks of plagiarism by developing students’ understanding of academic integrity!

Preparing our students for assessments as part of the taught programme makes assessment a natural part or the learning process and enables students to develop their skills in a low-stress environment.
