Webinars and Seminars
EAT-Erasmus Webinar Series: March - May 2023
This series of webinars was presented by the members of the EAT-Erasmus project, an EU/Erasmus+ funded project between 1st March - 10th May, 2023.
Webinar 1: 1st March 2023
Enhancing assessment design, literacy and feedback.
How can we design our assessments to support the students' development of self-regulation and independence?
This webinar, hosted by Minho University, will explain the EAT (Equity, Agency, and Transparency) framework. EAT is an evidence-informed approach to enhancing educational practice in assessment and feedback in higher education. Some of the assumptions behind the EAT framework will be presented, and there will be opportunities to engage in activities involving practical tools to evaluate your own assessment practice at individual or team/institution level.
Webianr 2: 15th March 2023
Promoting student self-regulation through assessment practices
Self-regulation is a fundamental skill for Higher Education, but one which needs nurturing and supporting in students. How can we promote its development?
This webinar, hosted by the University of Zaragoza, will focus on promoting student self-regulation through assessment and feedback practices in higher education. Cognitive scientist Dario Cecilio Fernandes https://www.linkedin.com/in/dceciliofernandes will speak about Self-Regulation, followed by a discussion of how to embed these concepts in assessment practices.
Webinar 3: 12th April 2023
A self-regulation competency framework
What is the self-regulation competency framework and how can this be used to enhance practice in higher education?
This webinar, hosted by Cardiff University, will give an overview of the self-regulation competency framework and how this can be used to enhance practice in Higher Education. The framework, developed through a review of the literature on self-regulation, aims to provide a series of key benchmarks for learners and educators, to measure the potential impact of learning and teaching practices on the development of self-regulatory skills. The webinar will explain the framework and provide some practical ideas of how to use it as tool to help planning and design of teaching sessions and assessments. The self-regulation framework can be downloaded from the EAT-Erasmus.org website in different languages here: https://www.eat-erasmus.org/erasmus-training
Webinar 4: 26th April 2023
Standards of assessment
How do we design high quality assessments that positively impact student learning gain and develop authentic learning experiences?
This webinar, hosted by the University of Bristol, will explore the features that make assessments high quality. How do we evaluate the impact of assessments on student learning gain and experience? What metrics can be used to evaluate impact and how do these align with national metrics? How can institutions potentially adopt a quality standards framework for assessment?
Webinar 5: 10th May 2023
Practical tools for measuring impact of assessment interventions
What are the best methods to effectively measure the impact of assessment interventions?
This webinar showcases a series of case studies on implementing assessment interventions at institutional level and different means of measuring the impact of these interventions on different stakeholders. This webinar will include an open discussion on the best ways to measure impact, and lessons learned from the EAT-Erasmus Case Studies of assessment interventions. How do you know that what you did made a difference?
EAT-Erasmus Webinars
Promoting a pragmatic self-regulatory approach to assessment
Prof. Carol Evans presents a webinar (30th September, 2021) discussing the potential for enhancing student learning and engagement with assessment through developing their self-regulatory skills. Prof Evans highlights the 'EAT Framework' (Equity, Agency and Transparency in assessment), a research-based framework distilling the characteristics of effective assessment and feedback practices into 12 inter-linked dimensions. The Webinar begins at 12.00 minutes. Prior to the Webinar, there is a brief introduction by Prof. Steve Rutherford (Cardiff University) to the EAT-Erasmus Project, an EU (Erasmus+) funded 3-year (2020 - 2023) project aiming at developing resources for HE professionals and students, to enhance assessment and feedback.
Enhancing assessment and feedback using the EAT framework
Prof. Steve Rutherford (Cardiff University) presents a webinar introducing the 'EAT Framework' (Equity, Agency and Transparency in assessment), a research-based framework distilling the characteristics of effective assessment and feedback practices into 12 inter-linked dimensions. The webinar introduces the 12 dimensions of EAT, and discussed ways of using them in practical activities to engage students as active partners in learning, assessment, and in the design/review of the assessments they undertake. The webinar also includes a brief introduction to the EAT-Erasmus Project, an EU (Erasmus+) funded 3-year (2020 - 2023) project aiming at developing resources for HE professionals and students, to enhance assessment and feedback.
