The SPRInTA Project: engaging students in formative assessment: strategies and outcomes
conference contribution
posted on 2009-04-24, 11:53 authored by Nicola Bryan, Guinevere Glasfurd-Brown, Martin SellensThe SPRInTA Project, (Student Portal Resources for Innovative Targeted
Assessments), is a two-year project at the University of Essex funded through
the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) as part of Phase
5 of the Fund for the Development of Teaching and Learning (FDTL). The aim
of the project is to provide a solution to sector wide concerns that increasing
student numbers and unfavourable staff to student ratio’s are adversely
affecting the support available to students on assessment and the provision of
effective feedback. The project aims to address this issue by developing
tutorial guidance and formative assessments for undergraduate Sports
Science Students. These resources are being made available via the
University’s institutional student portal, enabling targeted support for
assessment.
This short paper will provide a brief overview of the SPRInTA Project detailing
progress to date. Particular detail will be given to patterns of student uptake
including strategies and recommendations for optimising student engagement
in online formative assessment.
