Abstract

Assessment is an integral part of the student learning experience. It can be argued that it has the single greatest impact on student learning. Therefore it is imperative that we understand how assessment in higher education is changing, what drives these changes and how these changes affect individual teaching practice. This paper discusses assessment as a driver for change by examining the stakeholder perspectives and expectations of assessment, and equating these to potential drivers for change in student learning.
