About the activities

Example IDEAs card: Minute PaperIDEA-Cards-UCL-09-06-21-CC-BY-SA

These IDEAs have been developed to help staff with designing digital assessment and feedback. The activities are categorised into two overarching groups focused on their short or longer term nature:   

    • Group 1: quick on the fly activities to check understanding and foster engagement;  
    • Group 2: activities that can be embedded and developed throughout a module. 

To facilitate consultation, the activities are also categorised (tagged) based on their pedagogical aims. These tags run across the 2 groups and are listed in the Categories box found throughout the site – click on a category to see all the relevant resources.

  • Why use it (students and staff)
  • When to use it
  • Digital tools that might be used
  • Speed of set-up time

Each IDEA is labelled with both the Group and the pedagogical aim tag(s) making them searchable.
