Through the Assessment programme the Teaching Development team seeks to assist the Nelson Mandela University academics to design, develop and implement innovative, relevant, and theoretically underpinned assessment practice to improve their teaching and the students’ learning. Academics that participate on the programme will be able to adopt a constructive alignment approach to teaching, learning and assessment. The purpose of the programme is to develop academics’ theoretical understanding of assessment and to enable an informed implementation of assessment processes informed by key assessment principles in the context of higher education.
