Assessment & Records

Assessments & Tests

Know what each assessment is meant to reveal.

Connect assessment plans, learning outcomes, student attempts and feedback across formative and summative work.

START WITH THE ACTUAL WORK

Why connect assessments & tests?

A score is more useful when it connects to the learning being assessed, the conditions of the task, and the feedback a learner needs next.

WHAT THIS CAPABILITY BRINGS TOGETHER

Assessments & Tests: records, decisions, and handovers.

01

Outcome alignment

Connect each assessment to the learning objectives it is intended to examine.

02

Assessment preparation

Organize instructions, questions, response requirements, and marking criteria.

03

Achievement review

Bring responses and feedback together to inform the next teaching decision.

STEP 1 OF 4

Choose assessed outcomes

Choose the outcomes and decide what evidence the task should produce.

A WORKED EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

Different tasks can assess the same outcome

A cohort demonstrates a learning outcome through a practical task while another uses a written response. Raw marks alone do not explain comparable achievement.

The decision and its context

Define the outcome, evidence and assessment criteria before assigning the activity. Keep accommodations and approved alternative evidence distinct from changing the academic standard.

What a complete outcome looks like

A reviewer should understand what was assessed, how the judgment was reached and which version of the criteria applied.

FOLLOW THE HANDOVERGrading & ModerationModeration examines whether assessment judgments are consistent with the agreed criteria.

A CAPABILITY, NOT AN ISLAND

Connect assessments & tests with the next workflow.

The same institutional context should support the next responsible team’s action. Explore the connected capabilities.

YOUR INSTITUTION’S RULES

Set the rules for assessments & tests.

  • Assessment types and outcome mappings
  • Attempt windows and permitted adjustments

WHEN THE DAY DOESN’T FOLLOW THE DEFAULT

An approved accommodation changes the assessment conditions

Apply the agreed adjustment to the learner’s attempt without changing the intended learning outcome.

A clear exception keeps the reason, owner, and next decision visible.

How connected workflows work

APPROPRIATE CONTROL

Who can act on assessments & tests?

Separate assessment preparation, learner access, and result release so questions and unreleased outcomes remain with authorized users.

Explore security and institutional control

KNOW WHETHER THE CHANGE IS HELPING

Evidence for the next lesson

Review achievement by outcome and identify what needs reinforcement, rather than relying only on an overall average.

Agree the baseline, reporting period, and owner before comparing results.Connect evidence to decisions

SEE IT IN YOUR CONTEXT

Different institutions. Specific responsibilities.

A practical introduction

Bring a representative workflow, one recurring exception, and the people who own the handoffs.

Plan your implementation

BEFORE THE CONVERSATION

Useful questions about assessments & tests.

Can formative and summative work use different rules?

Yes. Practice tasks and formal assessments can differ in attempts, weighting, feedback timing, and the way outcomes feed into reporting.

What should be agreed before a reporting cycle?

Confirm the grading conventions, academic roles, review stages, correction process, and release dates. Exercise an incomplete result and an authorized correction before using the live cycle.

PUT YOUR PROCESS IN THE PICTURE

Explore assessments & tests in your institution.

Start with your current workflow, the decisions that take time, and the handoffs you want to improve.
