Designing transparent assessment strategies for online learning in HE (English language)

Pedagogical point-of -view:

• Allows linking feedback to the rubric assessment criteria, forcing students to write comments for each assessment criterion;
• Draws attention to the assessment task by focusing the student's effort;
• Motivates students to work by encouraging them to do the best they can;
• Provides evidence of existing good practice - the student knows what and why they have done well;
• Clarifies the expected standards for every single assessment activity;
• Suggests ways for improvement;
• Constructive feedback enables students to take control of their own assessment by making them active participants in the learning and assessment process.
