Optionality in Assessment: What works and what are the barriers?
Date: 3rd November 2023

This interactive webinar will share the findings and studies from the Collaborative Enhancement Project, led by the University of Manchester which addresses the issuesof students wanting more inclusive, flexible assessment.
The cross institutional team, which also included University of York, Imperial College London and UCL, conducted surveys and interviews with teaching staff, students, external examiners, regulators, accreditors, international HE academics, administrators, and employers – to provide guidance and support around assessment optionality.
