Project overview
 
‘Assess for Success’ is one of the Maynooth University National Forum funded Strategic Alignment of Teaching and Learning Enhancement (SATLE 2020) initiatives.
 
This initiative has established an Assessment and Feedback hub. The hub is a central, online, ‘go-to’ space for staff, where they can find resources to support and enhance assessment and feedback practice. It has been designed so that it can be continuously developed and grow over time.
 
The initiative involved surveying Maynooth University staff to identify experiences and challenges of assessment and feedback, including in the current Covid context, and to clarify key priority areas for support and development.
