LOTA case studies

Audits and assessment pilot projects were set up in different faculties. As a result, nine case studies are available (Centre for Outcomes-Based Education, 2005) covering the following topics:

1. Improving reliability of assessment using grade descriptors - the case for staff development.

How the use of grade descriptors improved the reliability of assessment and impacted on staff development. (Faculty of Education and Language Studies)

2. Developing and assessing key skills - the case for course audit.

Identifying where and how skills of communication, group working, information literacy, and laboratory skills were developed and assessed. (Faculty of Science)

3. Teaching and assessing skills outcomes on a project course - the case for explicit alignment. Making clear the link between learning outcomes, assessment tasks and feedback. (Faculty of Technology)

4. Associate lecturers as course team members - the case for working in partnership.

Using AL expertise in reviewing, planning and writing a course. (Faculty of Technology)

5. Linking assessment to award outcomes - the case for course audit.

Checking that award level outcomes are addressed by the component courses. (Faculty of Mathematics and Computing)

6. Using feedback to enhance learning - the case for feedback on learning outcomes.

Directing teaching to the achievement of outcomes. (Faculty of Arts)

7. History program guides - the case for program documentation.

Providing students with a clear guide to the rationale, outcomes, assessment and language associated with an award. (Department of History)

8. Assessing communication skills and cognitive learning outcomes - the case for course audit.

Improving the fit between learning outcomes and assessment. (Faculty of Arts)

9. Science MSc projects - the case for criterion-based assessment.

Developing an assessment strategy with a criterion-based marking scheme. (Faculty of Science)

Although too long to include here, each case study contains the main learning points for the faculty in which they were based. All the case studies are available on the website of the OU's Centre for Outcomes-Based Education (www.open.ac.uk/cobe).
