Influence by operationalization
Through policy development, implementation and agitation, the A/Dean, L&T has potential to influence assessment-as-learning practice through operationalizing learning, teaching and assessment philosophy at both the faculty and institutional levels. Specific and relevant examples here include:
• overseeing Faculty course design through chairing Faculty committees and working parties to ensure due regard is given to assessment imperatives; particularly as regards
➣ moving beyond limited traditional assessment practices, which in Law have been typified by single, end of "teaching", unseen written examination;
➣ appropriate and transparent links to tasks that are valid for the much broader range of learning outcomes now sought to be addressed;
➣ ensuring tasks are "authentic" in the sense of being replicative to the greatest extent possible of work the student is likely to encounter in the professional workplace and that the link to the authentic world of work is made transparent;
➣ tasks being explicated by explicit publication of appropriate criteria and standards; and
➣ ensuring that opportunities for formative feedback are constructively incorporated into course documentation.
• monitoring policy implementation and QA compliance (especially regarding the unit/subject/course outline to ensure constructive alignment and program coherence);
• through initiating policy development for a supportive critical curriculum environment (for example, on closing the loop on student feedback for QA purposes (Kift & Nulty, 2002); on faculty teaching awards and grants directed to strategic purposes);
• developing funding opportunities for staff to attend Learning and Teaching conference/events for scholarship publication;
• developing (e.g.) Online Learning and Teaching Policy or subject coordinators guidelines that embed good practice aspects (such as provision of timely formative feedback online).
