13.00 - 14.00
Kelly Ackroyd, East Riding College
To accurately determine the impact of blended learning on student achievement is what can be referred to as the Holy Grail of education.
An initial investigation concludes that, although substantial literature has been developed on blended learning, no definitive impact on achievement can be truly acknowledged.
The study aims to produce a best practice model of blended learning that can be collaboratively shared with other organisations, as such to positively impact student engagement and achievement. A qualitative data model will collect information on achievement data, models of blended learning, including key staff involved, student and staff views from a range of educational organisations.
The ever changing digital environment poses challenges for educators, leaders and potentially students. It is the responsibility of innovative organisations to take forward ideas and strategies, and not be afraid to challenge ideologies for the positive outcome for students. Collaborative engagement between organisations is the key aspect of this process.

Assessment and Feedback Masterclass - Don't let markers put a cross unless they're going to explain why

14.00 - 15.00
Stephanie McBurney and Sue Whittle, University of Leeds

In this session Sue and Stephanie will present work to inform evidence-based change to assessment and feedback, undertaken from the student perspective. They will present qualitative and quantitative data on students’ understanding and expectations of the role of assessment and ways through which feedback contributes to learning. They will discuss their perception and understanding of ‘fairness’ in relation to assessment, how students value different types of feedback and timeliness of feedback.

Dr Stephanie McBurney and Dr Sue Whittle are Associate Professors in the School of Molecular & Cellular Biology at the University of Leeds.
